Is it possible to have a dollar account At Bunq

    HI there 🙌,
    yes, you can open a USD account.. it will get a GB IBAN but it is fully working. I have one myself.
    Please check this document as not all plans allow it: 🌈 https://together.bunq.com/d/45414-local-currencies/9
    I am not sure what you will use the USD account for, but if you need just to have a USD transfer done to your bunq account, I would rather use the Wise integration which is cheaper and converts automatically to EUR while executing the transfer and hence can be directly deposit to your standard EUR sub account.

      Het is voor een investering die ik moet doen in USD. Eventuele uitbetaling daarvan vindt ook in USD plaats. Ik kan een eventuele uitbetaling niet tegenhouden waardoor ik de spotprijs Exchange rate zal moeten betalen. Als ik een USD account zou hebben zou ik het moment van omzetten naar EUR zelf kunnen timen. Zou je het in dat geval ook aanbevelen?

        HI 🙌,
        I mentioned Wise as that is what I use for basically the same situation as I think you have.
        I do have investments with eTrade in USD in the US via the company I work for.

        When I want to sell stocks, I sell them in USD and have the amount transferred in USD to my Wise account (you get a fully bank account details in the US via Wise)

        Once the USD amount is in my Wise USD account, I can decide when I want to convert them to EUR and then transfer to my bunq EUR account.

        So you get control over the exchange rate and using Wise you also get the best possible rate with no weird hidden surcharges and hidden conversion fees. Also Wise is not technically executing SWIFT bank transfers so they can offer a cheaper fees for it.

        Wise also offers a "calculator" which lets you test if Wise it is actually cheaper than others and shows also in case they are not the cheapest in name of complete transparency.

        If you do not have a Wise account, you can get one for free via the Wise App you need to download and install on your phone.
