I discovered the bunq app by chance in the App Store and opened an account because I live abroad but work in Germany. My primary concern at the time was avoiding currency exchange fees when using my card in Germany or abroad. However, bunq offers much more, such as free Credit Cards and sub-accounts that I can open free of charge. Since becoming a customer, their offerings have steadily expanded, including direct investment opportunities in index funds and cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, it's not yet available in every country, but I'm sure that will change soon. Even when I had an issue with an unauthorized charge on my Credit Card, their support team helped me immediately and much faster than if I had gone to a branch. I should also mention that transfers are always processed instantly and without any additional fees, which isn't the case with German banks. Last but not least, it's worth noting that they also consider the environment, planting trees for every payment made. I haven't checked how many trees have been planted through my payments, but last time I checked, it was already a small forest. There's also the option to suggest ways to improve bunq. I don't know of any other bank that allows this directly in the app. For me, it's by far the best bank I've ever been a customer of, and I highly recommend bunq!
