I used the camera to add the card. It recognized the bank account number. I can try it again this evening and make some notes.

The MasterCard is also recognized but declined as the bank does not support Apple Pay yet.

Ok i‘m sorry. I got the mistake. The terms and conditions are from Capital one. So Maybe my Card oder Bank Account number is the same like Card Numbers from Capital one, or am i wrong!? Docfred which coditions are shown to you?

Isn’t it a bit strange that the bunq announcement is so late in the evening ?
Seems more timely fitting for an Pacific Time Zone announcement... lets hope

I thought the same... but tbh I don't know about announcement times for last bunq updates... maybe they try to kind hype for 'private' users in the prime time and not during working hours...

don't think this has something to say in connection with Apple. Apple has no event today... ok, perhaps they will give out a press release.

Also for Spain:
https://itunes.apple.com/es/app/bunq/id1021178150?mt=8

The bunq logo is now also listed on the Apple Pay website for Spain and Italy:
https://www.apple.com/it/apple-pay/
https://www.apple.com/es/apple-pay/

Also it is interresting that the bunq app is currently not available in the appstore in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

When checking the link on German bunq website for the bunq app you are referred to the bunq slice app in German store. First they send you to the real bunq app (appID id1021178150), but in German Store you are redirected to the bunq slice app (appID id1174507594)

very interesting thing about German bunq website is, that they are suggesting that you can just download the app using the link and get a bunq account... but then you just get the bunq slice app...

But I still don't get the USP or the business case of bunq.

Why should I open a bank account at bunq? What do they have, what others don't? Except it's rather expensive, if you need payment cards as maestro or mastercard. 8€(?) a month... at other banks, you get the complete service package for this price.

I use bunq for 3 Months. It is in the german app store and it seems pretty unusual that it isn’t right now.

They state that they will not release Apple Pay. But instead Apple would announce that themselve. BUT: bunq is listed at least for Italy and Spain to support Apple Pay... So what?!!?!

No, they are not saying that they won't announce Apple Pay tonight. Bunq is saying that Apple will announce if there is a new country available. So in fact; bunq isn't saying that they won't introduce it tonight, just that it is up to Apple.

I'm not too optimistic, but what I do find interesting is the amount of banks that have added Apple Pay in the last week or are in the process of very soon (check Twitter #applepay or Google News etc.): bunq in ES/IT today, Allianz Prime (first in IT), American Express in France just hours ago, Sabadell soon in Spain, Société Générale in France very recently, the Brazilian banks are also advertising it as "soon" with appropriate screenshots.

Has anyone tried adding a bunq card yet in this thread? Has anyone tried adding their N26 cards (German ones!)?

Maybe Apple will announce it next week? I do think bunq will announce Apple Pay for for the country’s where it is already available.

Strange is that postscriptum is a bunq user in Germany (?) and the German bunq app is not available atm...

That is because of the coming Update #7 today.

Screenshot of the in-App Discussion of bunq (called „together):

Before somwbody states that something is wrong with my time: I am not in Germany right now.
