General Terms and Conditions

1. Getting started with bunq

Welcome to bunq – bank of The Free! We're a modern bank that's committed to making banking simple, transparent, and accessible for everyone. As a bunq user, you have access to a range of features and services designed to help you manage your money and bank like a local, from instant payments to budgeting tools to savings goals.

These terms outline the rights and responsibilities of both you and bunq as you use our banking platform. We know that legal documents like these can be daunting, so we've made every effort to ensure that our terms are written in plain language that's easy to understand.

Before you start using bunq, we encourage you to read through these terms carefully so that you know what to expect. If you don't agree with them, you won't be able to use our services. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. By using bunq, you agree to be bound by these terms, so let's get started!

When you open an account with us, you will be entering into an agreement with bunq B.V., a Dutch financial institution, and not with any of our foreign branches. This means you will have a Dutch account, regulated by Dutch law, regardless if a non-Dutch International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is linked to your account.

To see our banking license, have a look at the ‘bank register’ provided by the Dutch Central Bank on dnb.nl. To find us in the Dutch Trade Register (Kamer van Koophandel), look for bunq B.V. or the following number: 54992060.

If you'd like a copy of the agreement or these Terms and Conditions, just let us know and we'll send them to you via email.

Do you want to send us a postcard? Our address is Naritaweg 131-133, 1043 BS Amsterdam.

2. Privacy Policy

We want to make sure you understand how we handle your personal information. Please take a moment to read the bunq Privacy Policy carefully. It provides important information about how we collect, use, and share your personal information. By using our Services, you agree to our Privacy Policy.

3. Communications

Get ready for updates, because we will send you push notifications! By accepting this Agreement, you are giving us permission to send you updates through push notifications. However, if you change your mind and no longer want to receive these notifications, you can always turn them off in your device settings. Please note that if you opt-out of push notifications, this may affect how you use our Services.

We'll always communicate with you in either English or the language of your country of residence. You can expect to hear from us through the chat function in the bunq app or via email. We won't use any other means to communicate with you. To make sure you don't miss any important messages, we recommend checking the chat function frequently. 

If you're ever unsure whether a message is from us, or if you were expecting a message but didn't receive one, please reach out to our support team via chat. We're always here to help.

4. Feedback

Do you want to ask a question or give a compliment? Please primarily use the chat function in the bunq app (support chat) for personal matters or if you want to make a complaint. If you’re not able to use the support chat, for whatever reason, you can also reach us via email at support@bunq.com.

We love user feedback! So please provide us with any suggestions or comments you might have. To transform your feedback into awesome new features and products we will be free to use the provided feedback in any way we see fit without obligation or restriction of any kind.

5. Complaints

If you have a complaint or comment, we're here to help you. You can find information about our complaints procedure on our website.

We're also a member of Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening (Kifid), an independent institution that handles complaints about financial services. If you've gone through our internal complaint procedure and still need help resolving the issue, you can turn to Kifid for assistance. The verdict of the Kifid Appeal Committee is binding for us. Please note that eligibility to go to Kifid is determined by their rules and regulations. You can find more information about Kifid on their website.

If you prefer, you may also be able to turn to an authority or organization in your country of residence. We can provide you with more information about your options upon request.

6. Modifications to Terms and Conditions

We may need to change these terms and conditions from time to time, for example when we introduce new features or for legal reasons. Changes will become effective two months after they are published. Changes related to new features or legal requirements will be effective immediately. By continuing to use our services after the date when we update this agreement, you agree to the new version of the agreement. 

If you don't agree with the updated terms and conditions, you have the right to terminate your agreement with us (you can terminate immediately). If you continue to use our services, you accept the modified terms and conditions.

6.1 Modifications consent in Germany and Austria

1.1 We reserve the right to change or amend these terms and conditions at any time with effect for the future, if and to the extent this does not result in any significant disadvantages for you.

1.2 Amendments will be offered to you in text form at least two (2) months before their proposed effective date of the amendment via the email address provided by you.

1.3 Amendments proposed by us will only become effective if you accept them. In certain limited cases, the acceptance of the amendment proposed by us can be assumed, whereas your silence shall only be deemed as acceptance of the amendment offer (so called "Fictitious Acceptance"), if and to the extent:

1.3.1 you do not object to the amendment proposed by us within two (2) months after receipt of the amendment offer, or

1.3.2 the amendment offer by us is only made to restore the conformity of the contractual provisions with a changed legal situation, because a provision of these terms and conditions has been changed due to one of the following reasons:

1.3.2.1 it no longer corresponds to the legal situation due to a change in the law, including directly applicable legal provisions of the European Union, or

1.3.2.2 it becomes ineffective or may no longer be used due to a final court decision, including a court of first instance, or

1.3.2.3 It contradicts a binding order of an authority competent for us.

In these cases, we will inform you of the consequences of a silence.

1.4 A Fictitious Acceptance does not apply to

1.4.1 changes in prices,

1.4.2 changes to main performance obligations,

1.4.3 changes which would amount to the conclusion of a new contract, and which significantly shift the previously agreed contractual relationship between you and us in our favour.

1.5 In such cases, we shall obtain your consent by other means.

7. Dispute resolution

These Terms & Conditions apply to your personal account with bunq and any other services or products we provide to you. We need to agree in writing for any other agreement to be valid.

You can only pledge the balance on your account(s) to us. All other pledges will be void. You can't transfer your rights and obligations under these terms and conditions and the agreement without our approval.

If a judge rules that part of these Terms and Conditions is invalid, the remaining parts will still be in effect. We'll only modify the invalid part to the least degree necessary to fix it. The titles and headings in these Terms and Conditions are for reference only. Examples aren't a complete list, and other options might exist. If we don't enforce a provision at any point, it doesn't mean we won't enforce it later.

8. Governing law

This agreement is subject to the laws of the Netherlands. However, any consumer protection laws that apply in your country will still be valid. If there is a dispute, it will be resolved by the courts in Amsterdam (Netherlands) or the courts in your place of residence.

9. Eligibility and account requirements

9.1 Personal

At bunq, we need certain information from you to comply with the law and provide our services to you. Please provide us with complete and accurate information and let us know if anything in your personal life changes. It's important to know that we aren't responsible for any consequences that arise from incomplete or incorrect information or failure to keep us updated.

To open an account, we need to get to know you. During the registration process, we'll ask for your personal details and documents. Please be truthful and complete the process as instructed on bunq Together. To be eligible for a bunq account, you must be:

• a resident in the European Economic Area, in one of the countries in which we operate (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden). If you're not a European citizen but you live in one of the countries that we work in, please check which documents can be used to sign up;

• over 18 years old or have approval from your legal representative if you're a minor;

• have completed the registration process truthfully and have provided us with all the information (incl. documents) we have requested;

• and not be on any sanction lists or have been accused, arrested or convicted of a serious crime such as financial crime, terrorism, corruption, tax violation, trafficking, organized crime or any other similar activity;

• We did not previously close or block your bunq account for any reason.

In certain circumstances, we may decide at our sole discretion, not to open an account for you in order to comply with our statutory obligations or because your risk profile does not fit our risk appetite.

9.2 Minors

If you're under 18 and want to open an account with bunq, that's great! Complete the registration process and let us know who your parent(s) or other legal representative(s) are.

As a minor, your legal representative(s) are responsible for your actions. So, we will need their approval for you to use the account. We'll send an approval request to your legal representative(s), who can approve it through their own bunq account.

As a minor, 30-days before you reach 18 years of age, you will be prompted to accept the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy on your own. If you do not agree to these documents upon reaching 18 years of age access to your account may be limited at bunq's sole discretion. Please note, we may also need to verify your identity in order for you to continue to access your account when you reach 18 years of age.

Your legal representative(s) giving you approval means you can independently use your bunq account and related services, but they will still be legally responsible for your actions. Your legal representatives share rights and duties equally with regards to your bunq account. They can revoke their permission at any time, which would end our agreement with you and give them access to the funds in your account.

Legal representatives on a paid subscription plan are eligible to create and manage accounts for up to four (4) minors.

Any legal guardian can manage or co-manage up to four minor accounts. As the parent, legal guardian, or legal representative of a minor, you are ultimately responsible for your minor's account including any and all transactions, misuse, or abuse of the account. In being responsible for a minor we recognize how important it can be for both parents or guardians to have access to and manage the minors account. Thus, as the legal guardian creating the account for a minor, you can invite a second legal guardian to co-manage the account with you.

By inviting a second legal guardian to manage the account you acknowledge and are representing to bunq the second guardian's legal relationship with the minor. You, by inviting the second legal guardian to co-manage the minors account, are also responsible for any misuse of the minors account by the second guardian you invited. As you did when you signed up for your bunq account, the new legal guardian will need to have a verified bunq account, including identity verification completed, in order to co-manage the minors account. Once the invitation is accepted and both legal guardians are approved both guardians have equal access rights to the minor's account.

By agreeing to bunq's terms and conditions you also agree on behalf of any minor whose account you manage or co-manage.

9.3 Business

To comply with laws and serve you better, we need info about your company and some employees, owners or beneficiaries. Please give us all requested info and keep it accurate. If your company changes, like moving location or activities, let us know. We're not responsible for any issues resulting from incomplete or incorrect info.

Opening a business account is a legal process, and that's why we require certain information about your company and its employees/owners/ultimate beneficiaries. During the registration process, we will ask you to provide us with this information. To be eligible for a bunq business account, you must be a legal representative of the company, and your company must have a certain legal form (more information can be found on our website). We also only allow certain legal forms (see our Together forum for more information).

We ask that you provide us with accurate and complete information during the registration process. If your company details change, it's your responsibility to let us know as soon as possible. You can find more information about the registration process on our Together forum. Also, please check out Together for an overview of the documents we need from you.

In some cases, we may not be able to open an account for you due to our legal obligations or our risk management policies. If you provide us with incorrect or incomplete information, we may decide to close your account. Certain business activities fall outside our risk appetite, such as those related to:

• Crypto currencies (except crypto consultancy);

• Tobacco;

• Pharmaceuticals;

• Precious metals and minerals;

• Financial institutions and other entities offering financial services;

• Casinos, lotteries and other gambling related activities;

• Trust companies and related entities;

• Drugs including but not limited to soft drugs, hard drugs, synthetic drugs;

• Adult entertainment or the creation, distribution or licensing of pornographic or adult material;

• Companies - other than financial service providers - who manage third-party funds (e.g. Stichting Derdengelden, collectors, legal firms settling transactions for their customers, etc.).

By signing up for a bunq account, you declare that your business is not involved in any of the above-mentioned activities. If you're not sure whether your business is eligible for a bunq business account, please check out Together or contact us at support@bunq.com. 

Companies involved in the crypto currency industry may be eligible for a business account on a case-by-case basis, subject to a more elaborate due diligence process and additional terms and conditions, which will be shared during onboarding.

12.2 Liability for Unauthorized Transactions

If your payment instrument (e.g., card) is used without your authorization because it was lost or stolen, you may be responsible for up to €50 of the unauthorized transactions. However, the following exceptions apply:

• No Liability Before Recognition: If you could not have recognized the loss, theft, or misuse before it occurred, you are not liable.

• Bank Errors: If the loss was caused by a bunq employee, agent, or process failure, you are not liable.

Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)

bunq uses Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) to secure your account. If SCA is not required during an unauthorized transaction, you will not be held liable unless you acted fraudulently.

Reporting Lost or Stolen Instruments

To minimize risk, notify bunq immediately if your payment instrument is lost, stolen, or misused. Once bunq has been informed, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions that occur afterward, except in cases of fraud on your part.

24/7 Reporting Availability

bunq provides 24/7 support to report lost or stolen payment instruments. If we fail to make this service available, you will not be held liable for unauthorized transactions occurring during the downtime, except in cases of fraud on your part.

Reduction of Liability

Under specific circumstances, such as the nature of the security features of your payment instrument or the situation in which it was lost or stolen, your liability may be further reduced below the standard €50 limit.

13. Transactions and mistakes

It's your responsibility to give us the right information for transactions, like the right IBAN or phone number. We won't double-check this information, so if you make a mistake, we can't be held responsible for any problems that arise.

If you accidentally send money to the wrong IBAN, let us know right away via the support chat. We'll try to help you get your money back, but we can only do so if the person who received your money agrees to send it back.

Be sure to check your bunq bank accounts regularly. If you spot a mistake, like a payment that wasn't supposed to go through, tell us via the support chat as soon as possible.

We can fix any mistakes we are responsible for, but only if you report them to us within 13 months of the mistake happening. If we're at fault, we'll refund the amount of the transaction, any costs associated with it, and any interest you lost because of the mistake. If you want, we can also try to track down any transactions made in error and give you an update. 

If a bunq account holder doesn't receive a payment on time due to a mistake by bunq or the sending bank, we'll make sure the date we add the money to their account is adjusted to match the day it should have been there if everything had gone smoothly. If something goes wrong with your payment because of a mistake made by someone else involved in the process (like another bank or a third party service), we'll make sure they cover any costs or losses that result from their error. This means that if we have to refund you or fix a problem that wasn't our fault, we'll seek compensation from the party responsible for the mistake.

We have the authority to correct errors or mistakes without your permission and reverse incorrect transfers. We can also undo transactions made by unauthorized people or people who aren't legally allowed to act on your behalf.

If you receive funds from any source in a currency which you do not currently have an available sub-account for, bunq may convert funds into a currency that you can accept, (using the Currency Cloud exchange rate, which includes currency fluctuation prevention) in order to allow you to receive the money.

If you report an unauthorized or incorrectly executed payment, we at bunq are committed to demonstrating that the transaction was authenticated, accurately recorded, and not affected by any technical issues or service deficiencies on our part.

If you report an unauthorized or incorrectly executed payment, we at bunq are committed to demonstrating that the transaction was authenticated, accurately recorded, and not affected by any technical issues or service deficiencies on our part.

13.1 Crediting your account

We want to make sure that you understand how crediting and debiting work when it comes to your account. 

When we credit your account, we do so based on the assumption that we will definitely receive the transaction amount. However, if for any reason we do not receive the money or a transfer is reversed, we may reverse the crediting of your account by debiting an equal amount. We can do this without notice to you.

For example, if someone sends you money and we credit your account, we assume we will receive the money from the other bank. But if something goes wrong and we don't receive the money, we will reverse the process and deduct the money from your account to avoid losing money. If your balance becomes negative due to a reversed crediting, please refill your balance immediately.

13.2 Payment transaction charges & other fees

As the payer, you are responsible for any fees we charge for processing your payment. - As the payee, you are responsible for any fees your payment service provider charges for receiving the payment. - If a transaction has additional charges charged by bunq, these are separated into another transaction and the entire amount is transfered immediately.

14. User content

When you use the bunq app, you can choose an avatar and nickname to represent yourself. We encourage you to be creative, but please be respectful of others when choosing. Avoid using anything sexual, discriminatory, misleading, racist, threatening, illegal, or otherwise unwanted.

It's also important to respect intellectual property rights. Please do not use pictures or names that you do not have the rights to.

These guidelines also apply to Tribes, which includes the name, avatar, description, and any updates or comments you post or send (text, pictures, emojis etc.). Your avatar and nickname will be visible to other members of Tribes.

14.1 User reviews

When picking reviews we show you on our website or in our advertisements, we make sure the selection process is fair and unbiased. Typically, reviews are selected based on a number of factors such as relevance, recency, and quality. For example, reviews that are recent and provide detailed feedback about a service may be prioritized over older, less informative reviews.

The reviews we show have not been paid for or manipulated in any way. This ensures that you are receiving honest and accurate information about our service, and that you can make an informed decision based on the experiences of others. 

Any reviews that are suspected of being fraudulent or incorrect may be flagged and removed from the platform to maintain the integrity of the review system. Please make sure you contact our support team via chat or via support@bunq.com if you want to flag any review that we display on our website. bunq is not responsible or liable for reviews on third party websites.

15. Service provisions

Please note that our standard terms and conditions only provide a general overview of our services. For more detailed information on the specific features and functionalities of our Plans, Cards, Interests, and any other service we offer, we encourage you to refer to our Services Provision documents. We have a Services Provision for Personal Accounts and one for Business Accounts.

Those documents contain comprehensive information about our services, including terms and conditions, fees, and other important details.

16. Deposit Protection and Other Deposit Risk Information

16.1 Deposit Guarantee Scheme

Subject to certain exceptions, verified bunq accounts are covered by the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS). This means that the funds in your account(s) are insured (up to €100,000) in the unlikely event that we go bankrupt. Only EUR accounts are covered by the DGS. For joint accounts, this insurance applies per account holder. The amount you have in your joint account is included in the amount for which you are protected for under the DGS. Want to ensure that your account is eligible for the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme? Check your account statements or consult our DGS page.

You are additionally insured under the DGS for amounts up to €500.000 for 3-months after a deposit relating to a real estate transaction for a private home; for natural persons deposits concerning a pension provision, a disability provision, a severance payment, or a life insurance policy; in the context of the settlement of a community of property by virtue of a marriage or registered partnership or of an estate; and an insurance benefit or compensation for damage caused by criminal activities or wrongful conviction.

16.2 Important Information About the Availability of Your Deposit

While we strive to ensure the security and availability of your deposits, there are certain risks associated with all banks that you should be aware of, which could lead to the inability to access your deposits temporarily or permanently. While these events are rare, they include but are not limited to:

• Bankruptcy: In the unlikely event that our bank goes bankrupt, access to your funds may be temporarily disrupted. However, your EUR deposits are insured up to €100,000 per person, including joint accounts; and your temporarily high deposits are insured up to €500,000 under the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme, as outlined in section 16.1.

• Operational Disruptions: Cyber-attacks or other operational issues could temporarily impede access to your account.

• Legal or Regulatory Actions: Changes in law, regulations, or government actions may affect the availability of your funds.

• Force Majeure Events: Natural disasters, war, or other events beyond our control could impact our operations and access to your deposits.

We are committed to mitigating these unlikely events to the best of our ability, but it is important for you to understand these potential risks. In the unlikely event of an incident as outlined above occurs, bunq will notify you when it is reasonably practicaly possible providing necessary details on the incident and the steps taken to mitigate the effects.

17. Interests

Saving with bunq is easy and offers super high interest rates! With MassInterest, you can earn interest by opening one or more dedicated savings accounts in the bunq app.

You can earn MassInterest on the total balance of all your savings accounts, up to €100,000 per user. However, please note that this limit, along with our interest rate, may change over time, and we will inform you of any changes immediately.

At the end of each day, we calculate your interest based on the lowest total balance on your savings account(s). Interest is paid out weekly as part of bunq Payday. We only calculate interest on funds that have been in your savings account(s) for the entire day. If your balance is negative on any day, we will settle the negative amount with the positive amounts in our calculations.

To receive interest, you need to be an active bunq user and have an active Personal account (bunq Free, bunq Core, bunq Pro, or bunq Elite). Please note that if there is a limit on your account's balance that is less than €100,000, that limit will be used to calculate your interest earnings. So, if gaining interest would exceed that limit, you will not earn any interest on the excess amount.

If you have an Italian IBAN, please note that we are required by law to deduct 26% of your interest for the Italian authorities. When it comes to filing your tax returns in other countries, please keep in mind that you may need to pay income taxes. It's important to note that even if you see a local IBAN, your bunq account is still considered a Dutch bank account. So, please take this into account when you're filing your tax return.

17.1 Multi-Currency Savings

As a bunq Pro or bunq Elite user, you have the opportunity to open Savings Accounts in USD and GBP. The specific interest rates that apply to those currencies can be seen on the pricing sheet.

The same general rules for savings accounts also apply to the Multi-Currency Savings accounts. Interest is paid out weekly as part of bunq Payday. For non-EUR interest, the payouts will be made to the oldest active account of that currency. Please note that deposits made in non-EURO currency savings accounts are not covered by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS).

18. Payday

You can enjoy a weekly wrap-up of all the earnings you've accumulated, including interest, cashback, and trees. On your designated payday, you will receive a notification that will summarize the interest, cashback, and trees you have earned during the past week. 

There will be separate paydays for each currency. It's important to note that the payday for each currency may not necessarily be on the same weekday as the EUR payday. You will receive your EUR Paydays on your billing account, while Paydays for other currencies will be credited to the oldest active account in that currency. If you prefer not to receive payouts from bunq, including interest and cashback, you can opt out by adjusting your Payday settings.

19. Cashback

We want to reward our users for their transactions. As an bunq Elite user, you have the opportunity to earn cashback on specific categories. Here's how it works:

• 1% cashback on payments made in the Restaurants & Bars category.

• 2% cashback on payments made for Public Transportation. 

To be eligible for cashback, your payments must be made on Mastercard Credit Cards, including the rainbow card, metal card, and Virtual card. You can make payments using a physical card, Apple/Google Pay, or through online platforms.

Cashback eligibility is based on the original categories assigned by Mastercard's Merchant Category Codes. The categories of your payments determine whether you can earn cashback. Payments made abroad in any foreign currency supported by bunq will earn cashback in that currency. If you make a payment abroad from your Euro account (using ZeroFX), your cashback will be paid out in Euros.

Cashback is paid out once per week, alongside your regular bunq Payday. The maximum cashback you can earn in a calendar year is €500. Cashback is earned once the payment has been cleared. If a payment is not cleared, is refunded, is subject to a chargeback, or reversed, cashback will not be earned. If a payment is cleared after your payout date, your cashback will be included in the next payout. 

If you earn cashback on a foreign currency account and close that account before the payout, your cashback will be converted to Euros and paid out to your billing account. If you prefer not to receive cashback, you have the option to opt out entirely through your bunq Payday settings.

20. Marketing Policy

We never use misleading or deceptive ads. We rely on our Terms and Conditions, Service Provisions, and Together forum as trusted sources of information for our products, services, and marketing.

To find information about a marketing campaign, discount, or offer, simply check the relevant Together topic. Please note that some marketing campaigns may only apply to certain countries, users or timeframes, so make sure to check if you're eligible to participate. In case of a marketing campaign that presents a discount or price reduction, the previous price will be shown in the campaign.

We reserve the right to end a marketing campaign, offer, or discount at any time with prior notice without any liability. If we are required to stop offering a marketing service immediately to comply with the law or any other force majeure cause, we cannot be held responsible for any disservice, damage or loss you may experience as a result.

Please keep in mind that marketing services are only available to users who comply with our terms and conditions. If your account is restricted or blocked for any reason while participating in a marketing service, we reserve the right to stop offering that service to you without any liability on our side.

21. Termination

21.1 Termination by you

You can continue using your bunq account for as long as you want, or you can end the agreement at any time by terminating your account. To make this process easier, we offer a revertible closure option. This means that you can access important information for tax or other purposes, but you won't be charged any more fees and we will block any payments, direct debits, or card transactions. 

If you want to permanently close your account and have us delete all your data, please contact us via support chat. Please keep in mind that this process is not reversible.

21.2 Termination by bunq

Sometimes we may need to terminate our agreement with you. For example, if we no longer offer bunq or your type of account. If this happens, we will provide you with two months' notice.

In some situations, we may need to block your access to our app and/or end our agreement with you immediately. This could happen if:

• You don't follow our terms and conditions or related documents;

• We're required to do so by law;

• You become or may become insolvent, or if insolvency proceedings are taken against you;

• You're no longer authorized to manage your accounts independently, for example, if you're legally disqualified, under administration, or no longer legally capable of acting for any other reason;

• You pass away;

• You provide us with false information, fail to keep us up-to-date, or don't cooperate in our investigations in which you're involved;

• We suspect you of using (or have used) our services for fraudulent or illegal activities, tax evasion, activities contrary to public order and/or morals, or any other misuse;

• We believe you've let someone else access and use your account;

• You breach any agreement you have with us;

• Our research shows that your risk profile has changed;

• You're no longer a resident of a member state of the European Economic Area;

• We suspect you're using your account for commercial purposes.

If we end our agreement with you (for whatever reason), all rights and licenses we've granted you will stop immediately, and your access to our app will be blocked. We won't be liable for any damages that result from termination or have any obligations to you. When your agreement with us is terminated, any debts you owe to us become due immediately. You will need to pay off the full amount that you owe us at that time.

In the event that bunq determines that a customer's account is subject to closure, we reserve the right to closely monitor all transactions associated with that account. If necessary, we may use our power under the general terms to hold or keep funds in the account if they raise questions. We will inform the customer of our intention to take such actions as soon as possible. 

Please note that ongoing transactions (incoming/outgoing) may be subject to additional scrutiny, and we may request that the customer provide further detail about each transaction to understand the rationale and background of the transaction(s). We take our duty of care seriously and will make every effort to inform the customer of any actions we take related to their account closure.

We may hold onto your funds after your account is closed to cover any debts that you owe us, payments that you authorized before your account was closed, or any legitimate claims or rights of third parties. We reserve the right to take the remaining funds in your account and reverse any payment if they originated from a credit or debit card payment.

If you have any funds in a currency other than euros when we terminate our agreement, we may choose to transfer those funds to you in that currency or convert them to euros first before transferring them to you.

Please be aware that after termination, any information that you have submitted, uploaded, or made available on or through our services or that is related to your account may no longer be accessed by you. bunq is not required to store, maintain, delete, or forward any information stored in our database, except as required by law or outlined in our Privacy Policy.

21.3 In case of death

If a bunq user has passed away, please let us know as soon as possible. Once we are informed, we'll stop any payment orders from their account, unless it's not possible to prevent the execution of an order. We value our users' privacy, so we can't provide information about actions and transactions that occurred before the user's passing.

For more information about what happens at bunq when a user passes away and what you should do, please visit our Together forum.

22. Managing third parties

22.1 Third Parties

At bunq, we specialize in what we do best and we believe that others do too. So, we sometimes use services provided by third parties when we think it’s in your best interest. Don’t worry, we take great care when selecting these third parties.

22.2 Third party apps

You may notice that we reference third-party apps within the bunq ecosystem on our website and in the bunq app. While these apps work with our services, it's important to note that they are not created or maintained by us. It's up to you to decide whether or not to download, install, and use these external apps, but please keep in mind that doing so is at your own risk. We do not offer any warranty or accept any liability for these apps. Third party apps may be subject to intellectual property rights.

23. Conflict of interest

If a conflict of interest arises between you and another bunq user or between you and bunq, we have a Conflict of Interest Policy that we will follow.

24. Transfers, merges or splits

In the future, our company may undergo changes such as splitting, merging, or being taken over. If this happens, we may transfer our agreements with you, including our rights and obligations, to another company.

25. Service disclaimer

We want to be clear about the terms of your agreement with bunq. These terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any other referenced agreements, are the complete understanding between you and bunq for using our services. These terms cannot be changed unless both parties sign a written agreement.

bunq’s Terms and Conditions are in compliance with the Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC). If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, we'll enforce the remaining parts as much as possible.

You cannot transfer your rights under these terms without our consent, but we can assign these terms or our obligations under them at any time and without notice. If we don't enforce a provision, that doesn't mean we're giving up our right to enforce it later.

We provide the Services to you on an "as is" and "as available" basis. bunq does not make any warranties or representations regarding the Services, including any implied warranties of merchantability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement of third party rights, freedom from viruses or other harmful code, fitness for any particular purpose, or any warranty arising out of course of dealing, usage, or trade, except as required by law. 

We want to make it clear that bunq is not responsible for any damage to your computer system, mobile device, or loss of data that may result from using or accessing the Service. We cannot guarantee that the information provided in, or obtained from use of, the Services will meet your requirements or be correct, accurate, up-to-date, or reliable, or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. By using the Services, you assume all risks associated with such use.

Personal Services Provision

1. Understanding your account

When you first sign up with the bunq app, we'll create an e-money account for you by default. However, you can choose to verify your identity right away and get a fully fledged bank account.

1.1 bunq e-money 

Your e-money account is a restricted account which allows you to try our amazing app. Some important restrictions are:

• bunq e-money accounts are only meant for purchasing goods and services, not for person-to-person transfers;

• You can withdraw money from your e-money account by executing a payment to a bank account in your name at another bank. Please avoid withdrawing money to an account that doesn't belong to you;

• Please don't use your e-money account for spending outside of your country of residence.

These terms and conditions apply to you and your e-money account, where relevant. You're only allowed to have one e-money account for yourself. If we find out that you have more than one account, we may immediately close all your accounts. If we close your account, we'll return any remaining funds to the accounts you received the respective money from in a last in-first out order.

We reserve the right to ask for identification at any time, especially if we notice unusual or suspicious behavior. If this happens, we may decide to block your account until identification has been completed. Please provide accurate personal information to avoid the closure of your account.

Please note that your e-money account is linked to the bunq app installation on your phone. If you lose your phone or delete the bunq app, you'll lose access to your e-money account. Unfortunately, we won't be able to recover your account for you in this situation.

Lastly, please be aware that an e-money account is not a 'normal' bank account. This means that your account is not covered by the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme, and we cannot provide account statements for unverified accounts. For more information on e-money, please check out our Together forum.

1.2 Our current personal plans

bunq currently offers four personal Plans:

• bunq Free Personal

• bunq Core Personal

• bunq Pro Personal

• bunq Elite Personal

For more information about our plans, please check our pricing sheet or the relevant topic on Together forum.

1.3 bunq Pack

Join a bunq Pack to save money with friends and family! You can either accept an invitation or create your own pack by inviting others to join you. A pack can include up to four bunq Pro Personal users. One of these users can also be on bunq Pro Business. bunq Elite users (both Personal and Business) can also be part of a bunq Pack and enjoy the same discount, while still paying for the extra fees that come with a bunq Elite plan.

When you're part of a pack, you'll be charged together for your bunq subscription (except for extra services), with the pack owner paying the pack fee. You can leave a pack at any time, and pack owners can also terminate their pack. If you leave a pack or the pack is terminated, you'll be charged regular bunq Pro Personal pricing and become a bunq Pro user. Note that Easy Travel or bunq Core users become bunq Pro Personal users when they join a pack.

Joining a bunq Pack is a great way to save money and manage your finances with friends and family. Check out our website for more information!

1.4 Easy Travel Personal

We have stopped offering the Easy Travel Plan, but don't worry, current Easy Travel users can still use it. However, they won't be able to order new payment cards. If you want a new plan, you will need to choose one from our available options. 

Keep in mind that these terms and conditions apply to the Easy Travel plan, so please take a look at the bunq card rules and our price lists for Mastercard Credit cards for more information.

2. Sharing an account  

With the bunq app, you can easily give other bunq users access to your bank accounts by clicking the Add button on the Home screen. There's no need to visit our office or deal with piles of paperwork!

When you give someone access, they'll be able to perform actions you've authorized them to do. You can always revoke the access you've given. If you set a time period, the access will automatically end once the period has expired. However, giving someone access doesn't affect your ownership of the account – it remains entirely yours.

Think of giving someone access like bringing them along to a party. Just like you're responsible for the people you bring to a party, you're responsible for anyone you share access with. So, make sure they comply with our terms and conditions. If someone else gave you access, you're like a "bring-along-friend," so please follow our terms and conditions.

Please don't give access to an account if:

• the owner of the shared account is no longer authorized to use the account (for example, they've gone bankrupt);

• you've become legally incapacitated;

• the owner of the account has died.

If any of the above has occurred, please let us know through the chat function in the bunq app ("support chat") or email support@bunq.com. We'll continue to execute all orders we receive through the account with shared access until we've received and processed your notice.

If you have a Parent/Child sub-account, you and the other user must both agree to revoke access. This feature is great for parents who want to keep track of their children's spending and prevent one-sided access changes.

2.1 Joint accounts  

A joint account is an account that's co-owned by multiple people. This means that all account holders have the same rights when it comes to managing the account. Eligible subscribers can easily create a joint account by opening an account and inviting others to join through the bunq app. If you are on a paid subscription plan you are eligible to open a joint account, all plans--including those that incur no subscription fee--are eligible to be a member of a joint account.

Once everyone has accepted the invitation, the joint account becomes active. It's important to note that you can only add other users when you first open the account, and you can't add or change users later on.

If someone invites you to join their joint account, all you need to do is accept their invitation to become a co-owner. Each co-owner can fully and independently use the joint account, but for certain actions, we may require permission from more than one co-owner.

It's up to you and your co-owners to keep track of who owns what portion of the funds in the account, and we don't play a role in this. You're responsible for sharing all relevant information about the joint account with your co-owners.

Any co-owner can decide to leave the joint account at any time, but if one or more co-owners leave, the account must be closed. Make sure to inform all co-owners before you leave the account.

Remember, a joint account is a shared responsibility, and each co-owner is fully responsible for everything that happens with the account. All co-owners are jointly and severally liable, so be careful who you share a joint account with!

We can charge each co-owner for any costs or debts associated with the joint account and can use the balance in the account to settle any debts.

3. Payments

With the bunq app, you can easily send payments to other people or businesses. Here's how it works:

• To give a payment order, log in to the app and press the approval button. For security reasons, we may ask you to confirm your approval with an extra action like entering a code or using biometric authentication;

• Once you approve the order, we'll execute the payment. Just like with email, payment orders cannot be canceled once they've been received, unless you set a specific date for the execution of the payment. In that case, you can cancel the payment until one business day before the execution date;

• You can send payments to other bunq users 24/7, and they'll receive the payment instantly. For non-bunq accounts, we need the payee's IBAN or alias, and you'll need to send the payment order on a business day before 15:30 CET for it to be executed on the same day;

• Regular payment transfers to non-bunq accounts are instant when both banks support the real-time payment scheme (RT1) or the TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) service. In other situations, payments may take up to one business day to be received by the payee. If the specified date is not a business day, the order will be executed on the next business day;

• Instant payments under RT1 and TIPS are limited to €50.000 per user per payment scheme per day. Any transfer above that threshold will be transferred as a regular SCT payment, which may take up to two business days for settlement;

• Any single payment of more than €50.000 will automatically be transferred as a regular payment.

• If you use your card for a transaction where the final amount is not immediately known, such as at a gas station or hotel, we will only block funds in your account with your explicit consent to the specific amount being blocked. As soon as the exact cost of your transaction is determined, we will release any blocked funds in your account without unnecessary delay. The release will occur immediately upon receiving the final transaction amount or, at the latest, when we receive the instruction to process the payment.

Remember, you're always responsible for checking that the payment information is correct before sending the payment. And if you have any questions or need more information, check out the Together forum.

4. Switch Service

Do you have a bank account at another Dutch bank and do you want to switch to bunq? Great! You can use the Dutch Switch Service through the bunq app to make the switch quickly and easily. All you have to do is give us the details of your old bank account, and we’ll take care of the rest! Check out our Terms & Conditions of the Switch Service.

5. SEPA

Your bunq personal account is a SEPA bank account, which means it can only be used for payments to and from other banks in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). This includes all member states of the European Union, as well as Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, San Marino, Andorra, the United Kingdom, Vatican State and Monaco. Payments from non-SEPA banks via a correspondent bank within SEPA are not supported, and we reserve the right to reject such payments. The balance of your bunq personal account is registered in Euros.

6. Foreign IBAN

At bunq, we offer foreign IBANs so that you can bank like a local in multiple countries. This means you can obtain an IBAN from a country of your choosing and have IBANs from multiple different countries. However, please note that we may need to verify your identity again to comply with all statutory obligations when obtaining a new foreign IBAN. Additionally, we may have to share information about you with local regulators or authorities when opening a foreign IBAN. For more information, please check out our Together forum.

7. Foreign currencies

Would you like to pay in other currencies besides euros? You're in luck! We offer multi-currency accounts that let you pay others in various currencies. The available currencies are listed on our Together forum and the bunq app, and we're always expanding our selection.

Please note that paying in currencies other than euros may come with extra fees, which are displayed in the app. Also, be aware that any funds that you hold on your bunq account in currencies other than the euro are not eligible for the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS). For more information on how we keep your non-euro funds safe, check out our Foreign Currency Together Page.

Lastly, we reserve the right to correct any mistakes (even retroactively) and decline transactions based on errors or exchange rates that were obviously incorrect.

8. iDEAL

With the bunq app you can make use of iDEAL to get paid. This chapter explains how to use iDEAL safely and securely.

Safety

Before sending goods or performing a service please always check the status of the corresponding iDEAL transaction. The status needs to be successful. If you do not verify the status, you risk not receiving your money. 

To prevent surprises please always confirm the use of an iDEAL-link with a payer before sending the link. 

And last but not least please make sure that your own website(s) and/or app(s) are adequately protected against abuse like hacking, phishing and spoofing.

Responsibility

Please make sure that your customers are able to contact you for questions or complaints (provide at least an email address) and provide them with information on how you will handle their contact requests and complaints.

In case you would ever decide to involve a third party in the iDEAL payment process, please know that you will be responsible for their actions.

Investigations

Sometimes an iDEAL transaction will lead to a formal investigation. Please provide us with the information we need and cooperate with us in case you get involved in an investigation. 

While we always want you to be able to make the most of your bunq account, in some instances we may block or cancel your ability to use iDEAL as an emergency measure in the event of a violation of legal requirements or if we suspect abuse. After an investigation, this block may be lifted or become permanent. In the event a refund request is denied, we'll let you know why.

9. Cards

Ordering a bunq card is simple through your bunq account. There are some rules you should be aware of when using bunq cards. These rules apply to all types of bunq cards, including the Maestro card, Mastercard cards, and bunq Metal Card. Payments are instantly deducted from your account, and you can only use them if you have enough funds in your account.

Your bunq card can be used for regular card payments, contactless payments, online payments, and withdrawing cash from ATMs that display the Maestro or Mastercard logo. You can also use your card for ‘dipping’. When you initiate a dipping transaction, part of your funds will be reserved, and when you conclude the transaction, the actual amount is paid with (a part of) the reserved amount. You can manually change the country settings of your card in the bunq app to use it while traveling or have the bunq app automatically enable and disable your card based on your location.

When you use your card to make purchases or withdraw money in a currency other than euros, we convert the amount to euros using the Mastercard exchange rate, which includes currency fluctuation prevention. For more information about card payments and pricing information check out our pricing sheet or Together.

To keep your card secure, we don't offer overdrafts or credit. We also apply limits on certain transactions for security reasons, but you can adjust these limits yourself in the bunq app. You're liable for any damages caused by non-compliance with these terms and conditions or misuse of your card.

If you need to return a product, the seller will transfer the purchase price back to your bunq account, and you don't need to enter your code to complete the transaction. If you have a bunq Mastercard, you can access emergency services provided by Mastercard, but some of these services may come with a cost.

You can personalize your payment card with your own text by choosing a preferred first name to be displayed on the card. Your legal name will still be associated with the card, and we do not accept liability for any consequences if you choose an offensive or inappropriate name or word.

Please note that your bunq card remains the property of bunq, and you are not allowed to change, copy, lend, or sell your card without our explicit written consent. If we need to block or change any of the functionalities of your bunq payment, we'll notify you as soon as possible. For more information about card personalization and other features, please check our Together forum.

For bunq Elite purchases made with a Metal Card before 01/11/2024 find information about your continued extended Warranty and Purchase Protection on our together forum.

9.1 Virtual Prepaid Cards

If you have an active account, a virtual prepaid credit card will be added for you free of charge. Only one virtual credit card will be provided, more can be added but sometimes a fee applies depending on your subscription. See our plan page or pricing sheet for more information. With the virtual prepaid credit card, you can pay at shops, bars and restaurants and online anywhere in the world. The virtual credit card can be used at all points of sale where Mastercard is accepted, which means you don’t need to apply for a credit card which may be a cumbersome process and often comes with a fee. 

The virtual credit card is linked to a separate payment account which you can access through the bunq app or online and does not have a credit line (other than ordinary credit cards). This means that the virtual credit card can only be used when you have sufficient balance on the payment account linked to your virtual credit card. You can always see the balance of your linked payment account in the bunq app or online. 

If the balance on your linked payment account is insufficient for a particular payment, the payment transaction will be rejected. However, you can top up your balance by making a credit payment into your linked payment account. There is no maximum limit to the deposit on your linked payment account. Any deposits on your linked payment account do not accrue interest. 

The virtual prepaid credit card cannot be used at merchants who require a physical card to be presented, such as for car rental and hotel reservations. You can apply for a physical card if needed, in which case additional fees apply. For the use of your virtual prepaid credit card (payments and ATM withdrawals) fees and charges will apply. To know the exact rates and fees that apply to you, please check our pricing list and fee information documents on our website. 

10. Mobile Wallet

All eligible users will have a Virtual card added to your bunq account. You can easily add this card to your Mobile Wallet through the bunq app.

Once you've added your card to your Mobile Wallet, you can use your device to make contactless payments wherever you see the contactless/NFC sign or the logo of your Mobile Wallet provider. The card linked to your Mobile Wallet will be debited, and the transaction will appear in your overview like any other transaction.

Please note that when you use your Mobile Wallet, you'll be subject to the terms and conditions of your Mobile Wallet provider, including their privacy policy. There may also be third-party terms and conditions and privacy policies that apply to you, so it's your responsibility to read and follow them. 

To ensure the security of your account and prevent any unauthorized access, please only use your own card(s) with your Mobile Wallet. We also ask that you refrain from any activities that could be considered misuse or illegal, or could harm our reputation.

When you use your Virtual card with your Mobile Wallet, please keep in mind that the card will have a different number that is used for Mobile Wallet transactions. This is important to know if you ever need to ask for a refund from a merchant for a purchase you made using the Mobile Wallet. Also, some contactless terminals may allow you to make payments above your contactless limit, so please be aware of this.

To keep track of your Mobile Wallet transactions, you can easily view them within the app. If you no longer want to use your Mobile Wallet, you can simply remove your card(s) from it. And if you switch to a new device, be sure to delete all of your information from the old one.

Using your Mobile Wallet with bunq is completely free of charge and is included in the subscription. However, it's important to note that there may be fees charged by third parties related to the use of your Mobile Wallet card(s).

When you add a Virtual card to your Mobile Wallet, we may need to exchange some information with the Mobile Wallet provider to make sure it's really you and to prevent fraud. This may include sharing data about you and your transactions. We may also share anonymized information with the Mobile Wallet provider to help them improve their service.

Sometimes, we may contact you about the Mobile Wallet provider through different channels, including marketing messages. If you don't want to receive these messages, you can opt out at any time. Check out our Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement for more information.

If you want to stop using the Mobile Wallet provider's services, you can delete your account. For instructions on how to do this, visit the Mobile Wallet provider's support website.

If you break any of our agreements (including the Mobile Wallet terms and conditions), we (and the Mobile Wallet provider) may block, restrict, suspend or terminate your ability to use your card(s) with your Mobile Wallet. We want to remind you that we don't control the Mobile Wallet platform and are not responsible for its operations.

The Mobile Wallet provider is fully responsible for the platform and may make changes, restrictions, suspensions, or terminate the platform at any time. This means that we don't take responsibility or liability for your use of the Mobile Wallet platform.

We reserve the right to revise these terms and conditions at any time in line with your account terms. Additionally, we may limit your use of the Mobile Wallet and may stop offering or supporting your Virtual card or card, or stop participating in your Mobile Wallet at any time.

11. Mobile NFC payments

You can use your phone to make payments using the bunq app's mobile NFC payments feature. Just hold your phone close to an NFC-enabled payment terminal to pay.

To activate the mobile NFC payments feature, go to the cards menu in the bunq app. You can turn the feature on and off whenever you want.

To use the mobile NFC payments feature, you'll need:

• A mobile phone with an NFC-chip;

• Android 5.0 or higher;

• Access protection enabled on your phone (e.g. a PIN code, pattern, fingerprint, or other secure method) to prevent unauthorized use.

Make sure your phone meets these requirements before trying to activate the mobile NFC payments feature.

After activating the mobile NFC payments feature in the bunq app, you can pay at terminals that accept Maestro NFC payments. You can recognize these terminals by the Maestro logo and NFC symbol.

When making a payment, hold your phone close to the NFC reader of the terminal when prompted to enter your card. You can only make mobile NFC payments when you're logged into the bunq app, and your phone is turned on. Note that sometimes you may also need an active Internet connection to make a payment.

When you activate the mobile NFC payments feature, your phone will act as a Virtual card. This means that the same rules that apply to the bunq card will also apply to the mobile NFC payments feature.

12. Payment requests

Sending and receiving payments is easy with the bunq app. You can request payments from others or pay someone else. You can even send payment requests to people who don't use bunq, using their email address or phone number.

A payment request is not the same as a direct debit. If you approve a payment request, you're giving us permission to make the payment. You can withdraw a payment request before the recipient approves or rejects it. Be sure to check payment requests carefully before approving them, and let us know if you receive an unwarranted request.

13. Why has my payment been rejected?

Sometimes we may need to reject a payment order. We'll do this if:

• Your order is incomplete or unclear;

• You don't have enough money in your account to cover the payment;

• We suspect fraud or other suspicious activity;

• The transaction exceeds a certain limit;

• The law or a court order prohibits us from making the payment for security reasons;

• The recipient's bank is located outside of SEPA;

• You're not meeting your agreements with us.

If we're able to, we'll let you know why the payment was rejected.

14. bunq.me

You can create your own payment page with bunq.me. Share the link with others to invite them to make a payment. You can use this feature to collect money for a shared present, a charity donation, or any other project. You can enable and disable bunq.me through the app.

If someone makes a payment on your bunq.me page, their bank will transfer the payment to us, and we'll credit your account. If we don't receive the corresponding payment from the sender's bank, we may need to reverse the credit, which could leave your account with a negative balance. By processing the payment, we're not becoming part of any obligation between you and the sender.

We've set usage limits to prevent fraud or misuse of bunq.me. We can change these limits without prior notice. When you enable bunq.me, your name and IBAN will be visible to anyone who visits your payment page. We need your permission to publish this information.

We generally allow you to use bunq.me as long as you want, but we may need to terminate or block your payment page in certain cases, such as if we suspect fraud, or if you violate our terms of service.

15. bunq.to

With bunq.to, you can send money to someone using their phone number or email, instead of their IBAN. 

When you send the payment, the payee will receive an SMS or email with a link. The payee can claim the payment using bunq or by entering their IBAN and name. If the payment is claimed, you'll receive a notification and can see where the money was transferred.

You can cancel a payment until it's claimed, but once it's claimed, it can't be reversed. The recipient has 5 days to claim the payment, or it will be canceled. Anyone with access to the phone or mailbox can claim the payment, so be careful. If someone claims the payment using bunq, they'll get the money instantly. If they use another bank, regular payment rules apply.

Remember, bunq.to is at your own risk.

16. Direct Debit

SEPA Direct Debit is a convenient way to let other people or companies withdraw money from your account. But it can also lead to surprises, so we want to put you in control.

Here's how it works: when a direct debit is scheduled to be debited from your account, we will send you a request for payment. You can approve or reject the request within five days. If you don't take any action, we will cancel the direct debit.

You can also choose to automatically accept certain direct debits, so you don't have to approve them every time. However, please don't reject or let direct debit requests expire regularly, as this is considered misuse.

If you want to pre-approve certain direct debits, you can whitelist them. This means that all direct debits that fall within the limits you set will be automatically approved.

To cancel a SEPA Direct Debit mandate, simply notify the payee in writing at least one business day before the intended execution of the direct debit.

17. Auto-Accept

We want to make sure you're always in control of your payments, which is why we require you to authorize each payment before it's made. However, we also offer an auto-accept feature that lets you automatically approve payment requests from trusted sources, like your best friend, family, or favorite shop.

To use auto-accept, simply enable the feature and add the contacts or shops you want to automatically approve payments from. If you ever receive a payment request that you didn't expect, or that doesn't match a direct debit mandate you canceled, please let us know right away.

When you approve a direct debit payment request, you're confirming that the payment is correct. If you've pre-approved certain direct debit payment requests, any request that falls within the set limits will be considered correct.

If you want to contest a direct debit transaction, you have 56 days from the time you receive the payment request to let us know. We'll process your refund request within two working days.

18. Stocks

Looking to earn more from your money with Stocks and ETFs? bunq has partnered with Ginmon and Upvest, two experienced investment firms that allow you to invest in a curated and wide selection of stocks and ETFs. When using Stocks, you'll also agree to the Terms and Conditions of Ginmon and Upvest and enter into a legal agreement with them. All orders are received and transmitted by Ginmon and Upvest for their respective purposes.

Investments always come with risks and neither bunq, Ginmon, or Upvest can guarantee any returns on your investments. Be sure to check out our Together page for more information on this feature and pricing. Ginmon and Upvest are investment firms regulated in Germany by BaFin.

When you open your account you will receive three months, or EUR 100,000 worth of transactions with fees waived, whichever comes first. The first transaction which takes you over the free limit will incur fees. This offer is subject to change without notice.

Pricing information of instruments and display data is provided by Deutsche Boerse. bunq cannot guarantee the accuracy of this data and you agree to hold bunq harmless for any and all damages based on this data.

In the event we have to close your Stocks account for violations of the bunq, Ginmon or Upvest Terms and Conditions, you give us permission to fully liquidate the assets therein.

When you sell an asset within your Stocks account, it may take a few business days for the transaction to actually settle. In the meantime, bunq may make a portion available immediately at our discretion. The rest will be available as soon as the transaction settles.

19. Loyalty cards

Keeping track of your loyalty cards just got easier with the Loyalty Cards feature in the bunq app. Want to share your loyalty cards with friends and family? No problem! Share your cards through any messaging app you prefer, and they can easily add them to their bunq account. Note that this feature is only available for merchants that bunq supports.

20. Places

bunq Places is a feature that allows you to recommend places to your friends and to discover places recommended by them. Using the map in the Activities tab, you can instantly see what places are recommended by people that you trust. Whenever you visit a place yourself, such as a restaurant, a club or a museum, you can let your friends know about your experience with a simple tap in the app.

To use bunq Places, we'll need access to your contact list, but don't worry - we'll only share your public name and profile picture with your contacts once you've enabled the feature. For more info, check out our Privacy & Cookie Statement.

And as a bonus, we'll plant a tree for your first recommendation, and one tree for every ten recommendations after that! It's our way of saying thank you for sharing your favorite places with your friends.

Just remember, it's up to you to decide if you want to use bunq Places, and bunq is not responsible for any misuse of the data you share through the feature.

21. eSIM

eSIM is an eSIM card available through our partner BetterRoaming. By using or purchasing an eSIM through our partner, you will agree to their Terms and Conditions and enter into a legal relationship with them. While you may purchase the eSIM through the bunq app, you waive any liability towards bunq for any issues with your eSIM or BetterRoaming. All eSIM support is handled by BetterRoaming.

22. Wheel of Fortune

bunq may, at its discretion, convert prizes into their EUR cash equivalent in cases where a prize is not available. 

To learn more about the specific terms and conditions for the Wheel of Fortune, visit our website.

23. Guide impersonification

In order to help you as efficiently as possible, we may access your account and undertake certain actions for you. We will only do so in consultation with you. The access by our Guide is recorded in its entirety, after which the recording will be shared automatically with you. This will allow you to review what we have done for you and will ensure that you can revisit the recording when your question or problem comes up again.

In order to ensure the security of your account, we will never be able to:

• Initiate or accept payments;

• Change your security information, such as your login information and authentication method.

24. Referrals

We want to help you share the bunq love with your friends, so we've added some cool features to make it easy for you to invite them to join. If you have any creative ideas to promote bunq, please let us know via the support chat! 

Please keep in mind that these features are provided as a courtesy, and we reserve the right to change, restrict, or suspend them at any time. Use them responsibly by avoiding inviting strangers, spamming others with invites, or using the features for paid promoting or commercial purposes. 

Remember, the feature is only for personal, non-commercial use to invite friends to join bunq. If we suspect any misuse, we may take appropriate measures, including restricting your access to our services or terminating your account.

25. Billing   

We will charge you for the fees you owe us once a month on a fixed date, which follows the date you opened your account. If you have multiple accounts with us, you can choose which one we should use as your billing account. Please note that joining or leaving a Pack may change your billing date.

We will charge you in advance for fixed fees and in arrears for running costs. These fees are non-refundable. However, one-time fees, such as the card order fee, will be charged immediately.

If you don't have enough funds in your billing account to cover your debt, we may use funds from your other accounts to settle it. Please check our price lists and fee information documents for a complete overview of the applicable rates. You can find the current pricing list on our website. If you are unable to cover your subscription costs or debt with funds from other accounts your subscription will automatically revert to our bunq Free plan. This may entail bunq temporarily closing some of your accounts and cards, and moving the remaining funds to the accounts that remain open, at bunq's sole discretion, in order to avoid you being charged again. Don't worry, these can easily be reopened once you top up your account.

26. Rates         

We may change the rates from time to time. If you don't agree with the new rates, you have the right to close your account. 

We'll charge the costs to your primary account. Sometimes, your actions might cause us additional costs, such as late payment fees, seizure costs, MasterCard chargeback dispute costs, or legal fees. In these cases, we will charge you for the additional costs.

To know the exact rates and fees that apply to you, please check our pricing list and fee information documents on our website.

27. Negative balance

We usually don't offer credit, so negative balances are generally not allowed. However, some exceptions may occur, like card payment reversals or chargebacks. Unfortunately, we cannot prevent them.

Once your balance becomes negative, we will start a debt collection procedure. This procedure may result in a (partial) block of your account(s), card(s), and/or API access. If you don't refill your balance within one month, we may decide to close your account and/or transfer your debt to a collection agency.

28. Early settlement 

Typically, we only collect the money you owe us on the agreed payment date. However, if we have concerns that you may not be able to pay us (such as if your funds are seized or you are declared bankrupt), we may collect the money earlier. In this case, the amount you owe us will become due immediately.

29. Bankruptcy

Sometimes bad days become bad years. You or your company might go bankrupt, end up in guardianship, or have another statutory debt or insolvency regime become applicable. If this happens, you will no longer be legally allowed to use your or your company’s bunq account, so please refrain from doing so. If you want to use the account in this situation, ask the appointed liquidator, trustee, or administrator for permission. In case (parts of) your funds are seized, you won’t be able to use the seized funds.

We can only act in case we are aware of a (pending) change. For this reason, you personally have to notify bunq of upcoming Insolvency Hearings in court, about: 

• an application for bankruptcy of you or your company, 

• an application for (provisional) suspension of payments of your company, and

• a petition for the appointment of a restructuring expert. 

You have to send this notification to bankruptcy@bunq.com at least 24 hours before a planned hearing. It doesn't matter who initiated the hearing or if a change has already been published in a public register. This obligation applies to you personally. 

If bunq has good reason to believe that a situation like the ones above will become applicable to you in the near future, we reserve the right to suspend access to your accounts.

Please note that if you continue to use your personal account or use your personal account to access your business account after any of the above mentioned situations have become applicable, we will hold you personally liable for any damages that may arise from your usage, including usage of your business account. This includes using your personal or business account to conduct outgoing transactions from midnight at the beginning of the day of a planned Insolvency Hearing. We consider the withdrawal of funds from an account pending bankruptcy an unlawful act of you personally against bunq. 

30. Artificial Intelligence

We use artificial intelligence (AI) throughout your experience with the various bunq interfaces. All information on the bunq platforms is provided in English. For your convenience we use AI to translate into your language of choice, where available. In case of conflict, the English version will always prevail.

We have an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant called Finn that you can use in the app for any general questions you may have and to help you organize and pay your invoices in bulk. The context in which Finn operates is your data and your use of bunq's services. We will not, without your explicit consent, use Finn to make automated decisions which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you. More information on how we process the data you provided to or received from Finn can be found in our privacy statement.

You may provide information to or receive information from Finn. You are responsible for such information, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these General Terms and Conditions. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide the relevant information to Finn and indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any costs, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) from third party claims arising out of or relating to your use of Finn.

You may not use Finn for any activities that could be considered misuse or illegal, or could harm our reputation. For example, you may not:

• use Finn in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates anyone’s rights;

• automatically or programmatically extract data or information provided by Finn;

• represent that information provided by Finn was human-generated when it was not; 

• interfere with or disrupt Finn, including circumvent any limits or restrictions or bypass any protective measures or safety mitigations we put on Finn.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our AI to make it more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may, in some situations, result in information provided by AI that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. 

When you use Finn you understand and agree:

• information provided by Finn (whether or not relating to our services) may not always be accurate. You should not rely on information provided by Finn as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice;

• you must evaluate information provided by Finn for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing information provided by Finn;

• we do our best to ensure Finn provides accurate information, but we recommend double-checking any calculations, payments, or other details yourself before executing them. By using Finn, you agree that bunq cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions by Finn.

• you may not use any information provided by Finn relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them. 

Finn may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive information to you that does not represent our views. If information provided by Finn references any third party products or services, it doesn’t mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with us.

We also use AI with our SOS hotline to provide you quick and convenient help when you most need it. By calling our SOS hotline, and selecting to use our translation service, you agree to have your data processed by our AI, and by our partners as mentioned in our privacy policy, for this purpose.

31. Integrating other (third party) accounts into the bunq app

You can integrate transaction data and the account balance of your accounts held with (third party) banks or payment institutions into the bunq app. This way, the bunq app can give you a clear overview of all your finances across all your banks. In addition to seeing the combined total balance of all your bank accounts on the Home tab, integrating third party accounts into the bunq app also improves the insights in your Budgeting tab by including all your expenses across all your bank accounts. 

Bank accounts that are not accessible online or savings accounts with a fixed offset account can’t be integrated into the bunq app, since we can’t retrieve the account data in these cases.

To integrate account data from your other banks with your bunq app, you must give us explicit consent to retrieve your account data from other banks or payment institutions for this purpose, specifying the account(s) to which your request relates. You have to renew this consent periodically. We will then collect the relevant account data on periodic intervals from your other bank(s) or payment institution(s) via electronic transfer during the day and make them available to you in the bunq app. 

You may withdraw your consent to this processing of account data at any time by using the online tool that we provide for this purpose. We will then stop collecting account data with respect to the third party accounts specified by you and delete account data already collected with respect to such accounts as soon as possible. 

It is important to realize that we are not responsible for the correctness and completeness of the account data shared by your other (third party) bank(s) or payment institution(s) with us. We will treat these account data confidentially and take appropriate security measures to protect them. More information on how we process the account data we receive from third party banks or payment institutions can be found in our Privacy Policy. 

Finally, integrating third party banks into the bunq app enables you to top up your bunq account(s) from the third party account(s) integrated into your bunq app, simply by providing a payment order to us online. We will then instruct the other bank or payment institution where the relevant account is held to transfer the amount specified by you to the bunq account(s) specified by you. We are not responsible for the processing of the payment transactions by the bank or payment institution to which your payment order relates. Other than for the purpose of topping up your bunq account(s), you can’t use the bunq app to make any payments from (third party) banks or payment institutions.

It may be that we are not able to process your request to integrate your other (third party) accounts into the bunq app, retrieve account data with respect to such accounts or top up your bunq account(s) from such accounts, for technical reasons (for example an interruption of our services). We are not responsible for any losses or damages caused by interruptions of our services. Please see our limitation of liability in article 11 of our General Terms and Conditions.

In case of joint accounts, the limit of EUR 100.000 applies to each depositor.  In the exceptional case of bankruptcy of your credit institution the moment you have a deposit directly  resulting from real estate transactions relating to private residential properties your deposits will be protected  for a period of three months after the deposit for an additional amount which will not exceed EUR 500.000. More information can be obtained under dnb.nl go to ‘English’ section, search for ‘Deposit  Guarantee Scheme’.
