    • Dat klinkt goed ja!

      • Currently, the payment request page has the following title: “Your friend is requesting money through bunq.me”.

        Although I’m getting used to it somewhat, it still makes me cringe a bit. Especially when I use payment requests to sell off used items online and more so when I use it for business purposes. The recipients in those cases probably don’t consider me their friend and it might even arouse suspicion.

        I would prefer to have my (business) name used in the title instead of “Your friend”. I’d suggest making it an option, but that would probably be regarded as overly complex.

          • Glad to see so many issues ironed out. Might install the update today or tomorrow to see how I like or dislike the new design.

            • @Sander-Silver-Lion#159566 Ja, ze zijn nog vrij.

              • Still have 2 slots left for premium personal users. Send me €0.01 via https://bunq.me/hanspack with your bunq email address and transfer €5 at the start of each month if you’re accepted in the pack.

                • Hi, I’ve split up my pack in 2 so that more people can benefit. This means I’ve got space for 4 including one business! If you’d like to join, send me 1 cent through https://bunq.me/hanspack with your (bunq) email address or phone number. If you get added, I ask that you pay €5 (or €6 for a business) on the first of each month.

                  • I don't feel that OP is actually seeking to alter a bank statement, but rather influence the data that gets sent along with a wire transfer. Potential use case: buying dog food on Marktplaats and preferring not to send your full name, but just your first name or even a nickname. Don't think that's possible or allowed though, but it's a much more innocent request than trying to alter your own bank statements :)

                    • I've been using bunq for all my banking needs (both personal and business) for about a year now. My mortgage is supplied by Rabobank; I haven't checked whether I need to keep an active account with them for any discounts, I just asked them to withdraw the monthly payments from my bunq account and closed my accounts with them.

                      • A feature like this was available in the past, but has since been removed in order to simplify the app. It set a (optionally periodically resetting) budget for that person. I believe bunqDesktop still allows you to do this.

                        • @Tim#29342 Yeah, so in John’s example you’d have two guarantees of up to €100.000, which isn’t the same as saying you’re guaranteed up to €200.000. Can’t simply add those two amounts together.

                          • For 2 accounts it’s 2x €100.000, which in this rare case doesn’t necessarily equal €200.000.

                            • Okay, please wake me up when this API turns actually useful for devving and distributing mobile apps that can run on the user's device without any server side components.

                              • That should already be possible through Connect, although only via the API. You'd be able to grant someone the right to create draft payments. From the docs: "If set to true, the invited user will be able to make draft payments from the shared account.".

                                • Who cares if the owner of the public wireless network can see that you sent X bytes to and received Y bytes from bunq? People worry too much :) There will never come a day where you'll go: [facepalm] I shouldn't have bunqed without additional protection on that shady public network after a few beers too many. Really.

                                  • Boooo! Stop stripping the Connect feature please. Hide the advanced settings somewhere if needed, but don’t take our toys away.
