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.
