Hey bunqers 🌈,
bunq categorizes all your payments automatically. One of the easiest ways to save money is knowing how you're spending it. With this in mind, we’ve introduced Spending Insights 🚀
How can Spending Insights help me?
If you want to establish good saving habits, tracking what you spend is a great first step! Research shows that seeing what you spend your money on can help you save up to 10%. Without any effort!
You can now add external Bank Accounts to your Spending Insights overview for a comprehensive view of all your finances. Your Money Insights screen will now reflect all your spending, both within and outside bunq.
Adding external Bank Accounts is currently available for our Dutch, German and French users. We’ll keep you updated as we’re adding more countries! More details on the Dutch, German and French banks available for the matter can be found here.
Looking to fill those Savings Goals and come up with even more ways to cut back on costs? This is an excellent tool to help you get there.
