  • In How to block payment requests?

    Here too, some charities have kept it up for most of the year, and I get to deny their requests every month.

    • In MacBook shows Bunq TouchID popup

      When I enable TouchID (Profile > Security > TouchID) my MacBook Air shows a popup for the Bunq app even when I'm not usin Bunq.

      When I disable TouchID the problem goes away.

      This feels like a bug to me, I don't think the Bunq app should ask me to login when I'm not using the app. What do you think?

      • In Huawei P40 Lite QR scan doesn't work

        Recently I switched from an iPhone XR to a Huawei P40 Lite. The P40 Lite has Android without Google Services.

        Now I'm trying to pay with iDeal. Wwhen I click the Camera icon in the bottom row, this all-black screen shows up:

        How can I scan a QR code using the Bunq app on my Huawei P40 Lite?

        • In Rate Limit ... What is the real rate limit?

          Most API endpoints seem to have a built-in delay that prevents you from speeding. For example, you can get 200 transactions from the payments endpoint, but that typically takes 2-3 seconds. I've been running Python code for years and normal usage never triggers the rate limit.

          Trying to predict the rate limit might be harder then it seems. There is always network latency. For example you could send five requests over 10 seconds and they can all hit bunq at the same time.

          Why not build a retry in your code that waits 5 seconds whenever you get the rate limit exception?

          • In bunq iOS App on Macs with M1 chip (Apple Silicon)

            @wesselt#207637 Just figured it out!

            • Open the App Store
            • Click on your username (bottom left)
            • Find bunq in the list of purchased apps and download it
            • When you get an SMS activation link, open it on the M1 device’s safari, and then click Open in Bunq in the top of the page

            Awesome!

              Interesting! How can I install an iOS app on my M1 MacBook?

              • In Having multiple 'totals'

                Good idea, you could use this like a budget category. For example, one for Vacation, one for Sports, one for Dining Out and together they add up to a Leisure total.

                • In Updates elke paar dagen

                  Normaal zie je die updates helemaal niet en werkt iOS of Android in de nacht de apps bij.

                  Zelf heb ik liever ook geen "update beschikbaar". Het leidt af en meestal zonder reden.

                  • In In-app banner to update the bunq app

                    One of the nice things about Apple is that they keep your apps up to date without any thought. For most apps, I don't see any update in progress, I don't have to click any buttons. They're just there and up to date.
                    In the bunq app I now see a request to manually update:
                    update text https://imgur.com/vJL10np
                    Why is this better than the serene default where everything just works?

                    • In What are your budgeting tips?

                      The budget feature gets off to the wrong start by asking you to predict the coming month. Trying to predict the future shouldn't be part of budgeting.

                      The point of budgeting is spending wisely. Only budget money you have. Make a conscious effort to give each of your euros a job.

                      • In Patreon: All bunq cards declined without any feedback

                        Patreon works for me, but I've had problems in the past, when they thought bunq cards were Austrian, and rejected me for living in The Netherlands.
                        If you are very patient, you can contact their support: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us
                        Or use PayPal

                        • In Find transactions for specific card

                          I think you can search for cardname from the transactions view under the Total tile?
                          Agree that it would be helpful to show transactions in the card details.

                            Unauthorized uit YNAB.py betekent dat je YNAB token niet klopt. Dat is het developer token uit YNAB settings.

                            • In Travel card refunds denied by bunq

                              Don’t let Swiss make this your problem. Thank them for their effort so far and ask them how, given the limitations of the banking environment, you can get your money back.

                                @Bastiaan#200530 I guess AWS has support for queueing or a database, but that would really complicate things.

                                Why the 3 second limit?

                                • In API Callback: what is an error?

                                  @Bastiaan#200527 Thanks, the 3 second timeout explains it. I do several calls to the bunq api before I return. Bunq is very slow when retrieving transactions: just 200 transactions (1 call) takes 1,5 to 3 seconds. So there is no way to reliably finish within 3 seconds.

                                  AWS lamba does not allow a function to continue after the http reply. Looks like there’s no easy way out.

                                  • In API Callback: what is an error?

                                    The documentation for the API callback says: "When the execution of a callback fails (e.g. the callback server is down or the response contains an error), we try to resend it for a maximum of 5 times" https://beta.doc.bunq.com/basics/callbacks#retry-mechanism

                                    I notice Bunq does the retry mechanism even if my HTTPS endpoint returns a HTTP 200.

                                    How does the retry mechanism determine if a callback is an error?
