  • Design Suggestions #3

@Natalie-Maroon-Starfish#63153 Hey, I love the app design itself. There is here and there some inconsistency (rounded and non-rounded buttons on android), but besides that, it's an awesome design :) .. but the website... It isn't "bad", it just could be so much better in my opinion.
Here just some points for the website:

  1. "1000+ Features" - I hate that bunq is using that on the website. I didn't count them but I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't "1000+" features in bunq. Show what you have, don't "lie" at the first page.

  2. Adapt to the different countries. That's the ONLY thing I really love about N26, they don't "feel" like a Germany bank if you aren't in Germany. They feel like a local bank. They use the words you would use in your country, the screenshots are for your country, and the features you see are for your country.
    Just for example: Someone from Austria goes to bunq.at, and what does he see? Apple Pay, although we don't have Apple Pay here. Because you don't do it like N26 with a website for each country, you do it just by language. And even just by language is not perfect on the website, some screenshots are German, some aren't, .. When I try to get friends to bunq I often hear that they are afraid that it's not a local bank, that it's a "NL Bank". The website doesn't help with that.
    (And why can't the bunq website recognise my browsers language and country? When I type in bunq.com I get the EN version, not the DE (or AT) version..)

  3. The website should focus on new customers. Is it good to show the prices (they aren't low) at the first page you open? Is it good to see something like "API" or "Update #9" as menu points? I don't think that there are so many customers at bunq just because for the API, and "Update #X" is more relevant for current customers.. and they see it in the app, in together, .. - there is no need to show it to new ones.

  4. It's so static. This is something personal, but I really love websites when they have movement. We have so cool new web standards! use them! Your website should "show" your new customers that there are capable devs behind the bank. There is a reason why all this new "startups", "fintechs" have such "awesome" websites.. it's important, it's something that distinguishes the new banks from the old ones. The old ones have this old tech behind it, the new ones are "fresh".. bunq's website could show this a bit more I think :)

That's it. The app is cool, the ads are cool! Just this website.. I think it could be far better to get new customers to bunq :)

    Please make another card design, pleeeassseee. Its the only thing holding me back righr now

      @beersko#63497 Thats just stupid. I really don't give a -edit- about the color of the card. Its the features I get warm feelings to.🌈


      -Moderator: please watch the language 🙂

        @Peters#63511 Ok?

          Maybe on the website Bunq should use capital first letters.Doesn't look very profesional when only using small characters.

          I was at Bunq once. Didn't like the design enough and did not find it intuitive enough for me to use daily. But im back now and here to stay.

          PS: I encountered that my maestro card has flaws in being accepted when doing a wireless payment. 5/10 it doesn't work properly.

            @Peters#63511 Well if you are on business and using the bunq card, it could look kind childish.

            Maybe this idea is because all the banks offer their cards with dark/1color.

            Bunq is indeed unique with their 12coloured rainbow on it.

            But it depend on your taste if you like it or not.

            I am using bunq free and keeping anotjer bank as main use.😅

            If bunq redesign the cards (just let us choose the color) and implement some stuff I will be fully switched😁

              I would really love seeing true black in the dark theme (background) so I get the most out of my OLED display

                @Andreas#63557 Wow didn't know that! Helpful!

                  @WJanson#63328

                  Other gif keyboards show the same but behaviour.

                    Apart from the card design which could really be tweaked a bit, it would be cool to have a privacy feature that would "hide" the balances of the accounts on the overview tab until you hold your finger on it or something like that.

                    Sometimes I'm checking bunq on the metro, at work, etc... And it can be a bit "embarrassing" (not sure that's the word, but well!)

                      Push-Notification for scheduled payments should be in user-language like most of these already are:

                      As I am a german user, the language of my app is German. So would be nice, if this notification for scheduled payments was in German.

                      Good translation would be:
                      "Eine Terminüberweisung über 15,00 € wurde ausgeführt."

                      If you like the extra mile, you show the receiver of the payment for a good overview:
                      "Eine Terminüberweisung über 15,00 € an "Firma Mustermann" wurde ausgeführt."

                        @Heiko-Hartwig#63586 I agree with you. Kind of strange that the syntax of the amount is in Germans but the text in English. Not very consistent.

                          @Heiko-Hartwig#63586 The notification should be in German: I think this is a bug. Can you contact Support thru Private Matters so we have a bit more detail on when this happened? Thanks!

                            Hi, I really like the app but I think I will love a global overview of my expenses/incomes. (the list is convenient to find a specific expense but don't give an overview).

                            A monthly chart/pie of the total of expenses/incomes/savings would be very nice! (The next step will be to be able to categorize our expenses and have a pie more detailed of our expenses/incomes).

                              @WJanson#63388 THIS!!!!!!!!!

                                Hi, i would be really happy if the ammount of characters on the bunq pass could increase. At the moment it is max. 20. Now i miss a part of my company name en that looks really clumsy.

                                  I’d love to see all identifiers, numbers, codes etc to be shown as Monispace/typewriter fonts so that ambiguous characters are easier to spot, especially when characters are mixed with digits. IBAN is the most obvious one, however I’m sure there are more instances of this across the app.

                                    The calculation buttons above my keyboard are looking really weird if you don't use the native keyboard. It would be nice if those buttons are more in like a bunq style, like the rest of the app.
