  • Concerns about bunq.me

I think the idea of bunq.me is nice, as it allows for creativity, but as Iter, I have concerns about potential risks. For example, people could potentially use it to trick others, such as elderly individuals, by posing as the "belastingdienst" (tax office). I think there should be a feature in place that prevents the use of certain names, such as "belastingdienst," to avoid this type of misuse.

    @New-Purple-Newt-1101460237#295462 bunq.me pages will, as far as I know, always show your legal name (first name and surname)

      Yes, the show is linked to your legal name, which is tied to your bank account. However, some older people might think this is real and send money

        @New-Purple-Newt-1101460237#295464 Hmm I'm not entirely convinced this is a bunq specific issue. You could say the same about every other bank or payment request apps like Tikkie, right?

          Tikkie or other banks doesn't have an option to create a custom name to receive payments.

            Why should anyone (not from the belastingdienst, for example) need to claim bunq.me/belastingdienst for example?

              @New-Purple-Newt-1101460237#295467 You can just create a payment request with the description "Belastingdienst" at other banks, right?

                There you have a point that is possible.
