# RequestInquiry

Need to ask someone to pay you? That’s where **RequestInquiry** comes in.

With bunq, you can request money from anyone—bunq user or not—as long as you have their **IBAN**, **email**, or **phone number**. If they’re not a bunq user, they’ll get an email or SMS with a link to securely complete the payment from their own bank.

The `RequestInquiry` object handles this process. Like payments, it’s tied to a **MonetaryAccount**, and you can manage it through this endpoint:\
`POST /user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/request-inquiry`

It’s a simple way to collect payments, whether you're splitting a bill, collecting rent, or invoicing a customer—no awkward follow-ups required.
