Where Does the bunq App Store Data?
The Dutch bunq bank app keeps login session and cached documents in private storage on Android and iOS.
Last updated
Dutch neobank bunq keeps its login session and cached statements in private app storage on each phone. Android holds the data under its own package folder. iOS places it inside a per install container with a GUID name. That split explains why the two folders look different while the content stays comparable.
Balances and documents sync from bunq servers after login, so local files matter mainly for tokens and cached PDFs. Copying folders by hand misses the encrypted session and forces a fresh login. Keep the login plus second factor ready before switching phones. Check cached statements inside the app before wiping, then sign back in to refetch.
Where bunq stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.bunq.android
Private session and cache for the verified bunq Android package. Accounts sync from servers; local holds tokens.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
GUID container for the iOS twin bundle (App Store ID 1021178150). Note the ios suffix differs from Android.
Frequently asked questions
Do bunq accounts survive reinstall?
No. Balances and documents sync from bunq servers after login. Local data holds tokens and cached PDFs only. Reinstall the app on the new phone and sign back in with the second factor to restore access.
Why do bunq IDs differ?
Android and iOS builds use different package strings from platform history. The function is the same on both phones. Confirm the installed ID in system app info when comparing guides.
