Plan your move with bunq and save big

Moving to a new country? bunq helps you hit the ground running. Manage your money with ease, skip the hidden fees, and feel at home from the moment you land

2 October 2025

Starting a new chapter in a new country? Whether you're chasing a dream job, starting university, or just craving a change, moving abroad is one of the most exciting things you can do. But between the logistics, paperwork, and unexpected costs, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

That’s where bunq comes in. Built for people on the move, bunq gives you the freedom to manage your finances your way, from anywhere in the world. No hidden fees, no hassle, just a smoother move from start to finish.

Get Set Before You Even Land

Preparation makes all the difference. With bunq, you can open a local Bank Account before you even arrive in your new country. That means you’re ready to handle expenses like rent, groceries, and transport from day one.

Need more time to sort out official documents? No problem. You’ll get up to 90 days to add your local tax ID, so you can settle in at your own pace without the stress of deadlines.

Budget Like a Local

Every country has its own rhythm, and that includes how much things cost. bunq helps you stay ahead of the curve by letting you create a smart monthly budget before you move.

Track everything from public transport to your favourite new lunch spot. With real-time Insights, you’ll always know where your money’s going and what you have left to spend. No surprises, just control.

Skip the Hidden Fees

Moving abroad often means spending in different currencies, and that usually comes with markups and fees. Not with bunq.

Thanks to ZeroFX, you can spend in foreign currencies at the real exchange rate, with no markups or hidden charges. That’s more savings for flights, furniture, or your weekend adventures—before, during, and after your move.

Save Automatically, Without Thinking About It

Big moves come with big costs. bunq helps you save for them without lifting a finger. Just turn on AutoSave and let your savings grow every time you spend. 

Whether you’re budgeting for a deposit, a visa, or a language course, bunq makes sure you’re financially ready when the time comes.
