  • enable/disable notifications for specific accounts

Hello guys.


I'm a big fan of the popup messages that bunq gives me about all the activity's on my account. I really like this feature because it's easy to keep track on your account without having to logon every day to check if something is happened.


But these popup's come with a drawback. I'm connected to a business acount from my dad wich he uses to pay for his car maintenance. This way I can pickup stuff and pay from his account, and pass him the bill so he can deduct it from the tax.


Because I'm connected I also get a notivication for averything he's doing on this account. If he pay's something himself, my phone's telling me!


I would like to be able to exclude a account from all messages.

Right now you can only choose to exclude certain type of messages, but this is for all the accounts.

    Hi Timo👋

    Thanks for your suggestion!

    This is indeed not possible at the moment, but it would be a nice implementation🤓

    We can definitely look into this😊

    Thanks bunqer!

      Hi Timo, good idea.

      My wife and I share several accounts. This means that we also get all the notifications for everything we do. I have a slightly different wish. For instance, my wife and I share the same groceries account. When paying in a shop, I don't want to receive a push for payments done with my own card (makes no sense), but still want to receive a push for payments done with the card of my wife. This way we can both keep track of payments.

      But the bottom line is that you and I both want to have more control over de push messages.

        Another wish that could be implemented by using the rule system proposed here: https://together.bunq.com/topic/if-this-than-that-rule-system

        IF payment with card "John Do" from account "groceries" THEN suppress notification

          Hi Jan, true true! I think the ittt feature could well turned out to be the holy grail of features.

          IF payment with card "The Wife" FROM account "jewelry " exceeds 1.000 THEN call "John Do" immediately :)

          But realistically I think such feature will not see the light of day very soon due to its complexity. And it also would be a huge challenge to make this feature understandable for all users. But still, love to see this ittt feature tho! #yeswecan :)

            Personaly i would love a "if this than that" system. But i also think it's to complicated for the general public. So bunq should find a way to give us the functionality without compromising the easy to use interface!


            I think the ability to exclude a account from the messaging system is really easy to implement by just adding a on/off slider on the page where you can edit the name of the account. No fancy options required, just an "exclude from all messages" option

              I saw you closed my topic, but my topic was slightly different. I just want to mute specific accounts. Not only shared accounts. I also have some accounts of myself that I want to mute.

                Hi Jan!

                Both of your wishes focus on the ability to enable/disable notifications for monetary accounts 😊

                Here we can gather all the input from all bunqers and keep the conversation centralised 👍

                Cheers!

                  Hey jan.


                  I didn't mean to push away your topic. I just wanted to link both our wishes together!


                  I think we have the same idea. I also would like to be able to enable/disable messaging for any specific account, not just the shared ones.


                  I think it's a easy implementation for bunq!

                    Steffany,

                    maybe you can change the title to better reflect both our wishes? Jan is right that my title reflects another wish as the post's inside!

                      +1 from me!

                      At the moment I have a shared bunq account for groceries, but it is a kind of a hazard to deal with all the notifications from everyone. I want the notifications for my own bunq accounts, so turning everything off is not a option.

                      It would be awesome if bunq implemented a feature that would allow you to set per bank account notifications. Just a switch to turn it on and off. 😊 🙌

                          Would really appreciate to be able to turn off notifications for my business account

                            +1 this would indeed be very useful for business accounts.

                              Wow 3 years since this was suggested and seemed like it could be implemented in a heart-beat.
