Hi! Just a very quick update ⌛

We are making a new step towards better user and developer experiences. We are introducing a separate blog for developers, bunq Developers’ Corner.

bunq Developers’ Corner is going to be the place where we will publish the following types of content:

  • API-related updates and announcements
  • Useful articles about our API
  • Tutorials, including those written during the bunq API tutorial contest

You’ll also notice that there is a link to a newsletter signup form. Feel free to subscribe to our API updates using this QR-code:

API tutorial contest participants will be invited to bunq Update 11

In case you missed it, we have launched an API tutorial contest ✍‎‍💻. The rules are as simple as this:

  • write a tutorial with actionable advice on using our API that fellow developers can apply in their own projects;
  • win up to €300;
  • get invited to bunq Update 11 and celebrate the grand upgrade of the bunq app with us!
