bunq Update 21 Overview

Hey bunqers 🌈,

bunq Update 21 brought many amazing features that make life easy 🌈

V4 brings a redesigned, more intuitive experience built around freedom and personalization.

New Add Menu: Add money, cards, sub-accounts, partners, employees, or businesses—all in one tap.
Custom Widgets: Add widgets for Total Balance, Insights, or Trees Planted, resize them, and make your dashboard truly yours.
Wheel of Fortune: Win something new every day—cash prizes, trees, 10× interest boosts, or even a Metal Card you can gift to a friend.

A whole new way to connect with friends through banking.

See what’s happening: Check out where your friends are spending and what they recommend.
Friend map: Discover local favorites and avoid tourist traps with friend-approved spots.
Swipe to recommend: Swipe right to recommend, left to skip—and bunq plants a tree for your first rec and every 10 after.
Group Expense Tracking: Track, split, and settle group expenses automatically. Turn on auto-add card payments, and bunq handles the math—you just close the group to send out payback links.

All your green progress now lives in one powerful tab.

Track your CO₂-free journey: A progress bar shows how close you are to becoming fully carbon neutral.
Gift tree-planting: Plant trees for friends, even if they’re not on Easy Green—included in your plan.
Freedom of Choice: Decide how bunq invests your money. Choose fully green or your own mix, and even turn off interest if your beliefs call for it.
New ways to plant: Earn trees by inviting friends or recommending places.
Tribes: Compete with friends to see who plants the most—bunq users have already planted 8.5 million trees worldwide.

Invoice Scanning 2.0: Upgraded AI scans invoices 60% faster and automatically detects amount, IBAN, and name—just snap and pay.

Create sub-accounts like Groceries (€250) or Drinks (€100).
Turn on Auto Select for your card, and bunq automatically routes each card payment to the right account—instantly, accurately, and intelligently.
