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.
Pay contactless with speed and security! You can now use Google Pay with your Android device anywhere in The Netherlands and Portugal. Simply connect your bunq cards and spend carefree.

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

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.
