bunq becomes the first Dutch bank to support Google Pay

Paying online in the Netherlands is getting just a bit easier for bunq bank users — the online banking platform is now supporting Google Pay.

bunq’s new Google Pay service has previously been available in on Android phones in a handful of other European countries. Starting today, it’s now also available in the Netherlands and Portugal.

Google Pay is a type of digital wallet that allows you to make payments via many online platforms and contactless payment systems — something not always simple in the Netherlands.

For Apple users, this is not such big news, as bunq has supported the comparable Apple Pay method for over a year now.

Larger Dutch banks still not on board

Also jumping on the Google Pay train, two other foreign banks, N26 and revolut, are making the service available to users in the Netherlands, reports NU. Larger Dutch banks are still not ready to come aboard.
