27 now we have a lot of great new stuff to show you features that we have been working very hard on features that make life easy but I guess as you all know by now we are going to take a moment to
take a step back and look at some of the highlights between last bunk update and this bunk upd and I'd like to start with something that we are doing together as
you know uh at bunk we make it very easy for you to do a great number of things such as offsetting your CO2 impact as you spend and use your card we plant
trees to offset some of your CO2 and every now and then we look at the number of trees that we plant together we did so for this bunk update who is excited to hear how many trees we
have planted it is is truly incredible what we are capable of when we work together because together we planted over
205 million trees well done everyone truly incredible which brings me to someone and something and someone that I hold very dear um I think she's
the embodiment of what being a true bunker is all about I'm talking about Bianca this is her hi Bianca she joined bunk about 8 years ago and I know she's watching this from
Sophia I'm feeling super awkward hi Bianca how are you doing um but anyway uh she did really really well about eight years ago she
decided to join bunk because she cares deeply about users and her previous job didn't have that same focus and bunk of course has and so she joined us she
ended up in one of the most important positions that we have at bunk uh she became a super guide uh super guides at bunk are people who help you with anything you need if you run into something if you need help if you just
want to have someone to talk to they are there for you and she did this incredibly well and as such she moved on through the ranks and she became the
lead PR I think this is her we yes this is lead PR uh and she did incredibly well again so so much so that about
several weeks ago something incredible happened because in just 8 years she became the youngest Chief strategy
officer in banking history well done [Applause] Bianca I'm very proud of you now if you're watching this and you're inspired by this like I am and you're like hey
this sounds really good I want to join a compy where I can get [ __ ] done I want to join a company where my energy is not wasted on meetings or hierarchy or office politics or who knows who or
whatever I want to be somewhere where my energy actually makes a difference well please have a look at bun.com yobs and maybe one day we'll put you on the wall as well thank
you a little over a year ago something incredible happened for the first time in the history of bunk we became profitable thanks to you and us being us
bunk being bunk uh caring deeply about this planet we decided to immediately donate a part of those proceeds to a charity we found a charity that is
closely aligned with our values and um this this charity is called People for People um the values we share are that they like us they jump in they're very
entrepreneurial and they just get stuff done and also they do this together with a great number of people uh with Variety
in backgrounds age sex anything else religion um and they have made a real big impact bun is very proud to continue to support people for people and just to
show you what uh they have done and they have been doing over the past year we made a short video let's have a look at people for people we believe true impact
happens when we come together in a world where time is of the Essence Collective action makes all the difference no one should be forced to flee their home but if they have then we will be there to
support them people for people doesn't waste any time when there's no time to waste together we can help those in need as we act in a
heartbeat just days after the earthquake in Morocco we were able to deliver Aid and to help the villages who didn't
receive any help yet 2024 we didn't just show up we changed lives this actually makes me feel more involved in something bigger than myself but what does
collective action look like to alleviate the suffering of the children the women the families it's all about teamwork because together we can work smarter and
faster over 78,000 lives touched reached five countries and 12,000 M share with our donation we were able to provide food packages to people in Lebanon at the
same time in the nland we were preparing the donations and aid for Ukraine you know you see the impact you see the lives that are being changed right in front of you
115,000 essential items to provide warmth facilitate education and enable opportunities we engaged with 52 reception centers and hosted 12 Rolling
Aid events our numbers tell a story but it's the people that bring it to life it makes like a very stample on my heart on my life this really gives me goosebumps
that's really the heart of the action yeah from the bottom of my heart thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you very much help if you can help if we
all do that a little bit more I'm pretty sure this world going to be a better [Music] place incredible
incredible now little birdie told me there are some people for people people in the audience can you please stand up yes you too I think there's maybe more
well done guys great job and bunk is of course happy to continue support people for people for a long time to come and on that news it is
time to move on to all of the features that we have been building for you features that make life easy who is excited to see ladies and Gentlemen please welcome
T thank you Al thank you thank you everyone it's really good to be back here in deamar I'm here to talk to you tonight about how we're
using AI to make life even easier for you the first thing I want to talk about is how we're making the bunk app accessible to even more
users we've always wanted to translate the bunk app into more languages and uh tonight thanks to the power of AI we've
done exactly that because you can now use the bunk app in 35 languages there they are to show you how that works I'll grab
my phone and I'll connect it to the screen here we go I'll tap the beautiful bunk logo go into profile and then top right
corner go into the settings app references and I'll go into language now it's currently set to English if I tap on it it tells me it's
going to take me to my phone's app settings here we go tap on language and I'll switch it well you can see actually the long list of languages that are
available now but I'll just stick to Netherlands perfect if I go back now you see here in Dutch that it says that all of the
translations are in Dutch and if I go here now the bunk app is available in my language how cool is that now if you're using this and as a
native speaker you see anything that's wrong or can be improved all you have to do is take a screenshot and send it our way we've made this really easy so let
me show you I'll take a screenshot here and I can report something but since I didn't see anything wrong I'll just tell
them that everything's perfect send it off there we go and this way we can help make the bunk app better for all bunk users for the rest of the demo I assume
not everyone speak Dutch so I'll put it back into English and there we go last bunk update we announced that
bunk Pro which is usually 9.99 a month is free for students in the Netherlands back then we also promised we would make this available to more students in more
countries and I'm excited to tell you that we've done exactly that because bunk Pro is now also free for students in Germany France Ireland Spain and
Italy now again AI helped make this possible because rather than verify student IDs manually which can take a bit of time we've asked a little bit of
help from Finn your personal assistant and to tell you exactly how he's helping out here's Finn hey it's me again Finn let me show you how to verify your
student status and start using bunk start by heading to your profile then tap on plan see this right here just tap it and
I'll walk you through the rest now upload your proof of enrollment that could be your student ID or any official University document just select
your file and voila all done and boom you're verified now you can en Joy bunk for free how cool is that wait that was it yep it's really
that easy and remember I'm always here at the top of your Home tab if you need me now I'll hand it back to Ty to share all the exciting updates we've been working
on thank you Finn amazing yes it is really that easy I'm really excited for students in the these countries to jump in and start using
bunk now at bunk your security is always our top priority we have a number of innovative systems using AI that help
keep you and your money safe every single day but sometimes in an urgent situation you just want to speak to
someone now anybody can call from any phone number or pretend to be someone they're not phone calls are risky and this this is why until now we've never
offered phone support at bunk until now because we've done something great we've made phone support safe and secure by making it available
directly in the bunk app and we're calling it The Bunk SOS hold line I'd love to show you how it works so I'll grab my phone again and connect
it to the screen there we go I'll head to the profile Tab and go here into the support center at the bottom you can see it's asking me if I'm having an
emergency and like before I can chat with SOS support but now I can also call the secure SOS hline let me tap on that it's reminding me that it's only for
emergencies and that bunk will still never call you so let's call welcome to bunks SOS hotline one of our team members will be with you shortly

from the calls we just did ladies and gentlemen here's Tom hello everyone hi it's so exciting
to be here how cool was that SOS hotline right that's right we're here to help whenever you need now tonight I'm here to talk to you about something that is
just as exciting which is how bunk helps make your money work for you as you know there's already a lot of ways we do this from our high Mass interest rates to our easy budgeting
features and so much more in the last bunk update we launched a brand new way for your money to work for you bunk stocks it's the easiest way
for you to start investing we launched in the Netherlands and we wanted to make it available to as many users as possible so tonight I'm
excited to announce that bunk stocks is available to users in Belgium Ireland Italy Spain and France grab the bunk cap start using it and try
it out for yourself let us know what you think one of the best things that we've seen so far with bunk stocks is how many people started using it when they had
never invested before it's just that easy in fact like slight little anecdote on Saturday I was getting my haircut like ready for this update and my Bara
knows that I like work for bunk and she was like hey Tom I just started using this stocks thing I was like cool how' it go she was like super easy like have you invested before she's like no because it was always so complex in my
head I'm like this is the exact story I'm about to sell on stage right like that's exactly what it is it's the whole point it's why we built it it is super easy to get started but we thought
tonight what if we could make it even easier that's exactly what we're doing because tonight we're launching the easiest way for you to start investing ever do you want to see how it
works let me grab my phone and connect it to the screen there we go let's see and we're
connected so I'm in the bunk app I'm going to tap on the stocks tab at the top here I see a new Option it asks me
am I new to investing I am and it offers to help me get started nice that's exactly what I need so I'm going to tap help me get
started and here I see that I only have three choices yeah exactly instead of thousands of things that I need to choose between I've just
got these three all I'm doing is the green bar versus the red bar I'm looking at what's the expected return how much am I willing to risk personally I'm willing to take a little bit of a higher
risk in order to get a higher return so I'm going to choose Vegas baby that one next here and then I'm asked how much do I want to invest now
I'm just getting started I'm going to start out with €100 and then I'm asked when do I want to invest now I can have the bunk app do
this for me automatically so I can go the same day every month the same day every week I can go when I get salary that's quite fun we'll come back to that
later or I can just do a oneoff investment for now I'll pick oneoff investment tap on next and I see an overview of what's about to
happen really on this screen there's just one thing I'm looking at Giant shiny blue button that says start investing going to tap on
that and that's it in a couple of TAPS I just became an investor [Applause]
now I just got started investing that was super easy what if I could boost my investments further and I didn't even have to think about it for example what
if every time I made a payment my spare change would be invested for me automatically well tonight I'm excited to announce that's possible because
stocks now works with Auto [Applause] for anyone not familiar autosave is one
of our most loved budgeting features been around for ages I've been using it for ages how it works is every time you make a payment it gets rounded up to the nearest Euro the spare change gets saved
automatically to a savings account for you it's a great way to boost your savings tonight we're going to be able to put that spare change to work for you
in stocks so let me connect my phone to the screen and I'll show you how it works there we are as with all of our budgeting
features you'll find autosave in the budgeting tab I'm going to tap on the budgeting tab there and in the middle of the screen I see a graph showing my Autos saves I've been using this for a
while and so far this year I've saved €700 I didn't even have to think about it it's so easy I want that money to be working for me in stocks so to do that I'm going to
change my autosave settings by tapping on the settings icon here now I'll see that currently I'm saving from four of my accounts I'm
saving into my savings account and all my payments are rounded to the next Euro that middle one that's what I'd like to change so I'm going to tap on save to
here and I see a new Option invest your spare change now I tap on that and hey it's the same three options as
before if I want I can choose any stock I want myself there's a button down the bottom choose the stock yourself you can choose anything you want but I prefer simplicity so I'm going to go back to
Vegas baby tap on next tap on Save and that's it now every time I make a payment my spare change will be
invested for me automatically so I got started investing that was super easy I've now boosted my investments and I'm not even thinking about it how do I make my money work for
me in the long run one of the best ways for me to do that is to build a regular habit of investing for example I can invest part of my salary every time I get
paid wouldn't it be cool if I could do that without having to think about it I think it would so I'm excited to announce tonight that you can now invest
your salary automatically this works with the power of salary sort one of our most powerful budgeting features to show you how it works I'm going to connect my phone to the screen
here and you see at the top of the screen I'm already using salary sorder what this is doing is every time I get paid my salary it's splitting it between
all of my easy budgeting accounts for me that way I know exactly what I have to spend at all times you can see here that I have it set up so that when I get paid money is
going into groceries bills and fund money there's just no point budgeting if you don't have a little fun right so tonight I'm going to add a
stock there to do so I'll tap on my salary order and tap on edit settings then I see a new Option down the bottom invest your
salary I'm going to tap on that and hey it's our old friend the same three options can anyone guess what I'm going to
choose Vegas baby there we go I'll tap on next I can choose the amount that I'd like I'll say €500 and I can save my
changes that's it now every time I get my salary €500 will be invested for me automatically it' be cool if I could
show you this actually work right unfortunately I don't get paid for a few days so I thought of a solution I've asked our head of Finance Brian if he
could pay me slightly early just so I could show you how this works that's when win right like you get to see how it works I get paid slightly early we're all happy he's agreed so to show you how
that works I'm going to connect my phone to the screen here I'm going to go to the stocks Tab and I'm going to ask Brian can you please pay my salary now keep an eye on this number in
the middle here the portfolio number it's about 100 you can see that I just got paid it's sorted my salary within a few seconds theoretically there's a lot of
magic going on there and there we go I just got paid and €500 got invested automatically it's just that easy it has never been easier than
tonight for you to start investing in stocks grab the bunk app try it out for yourself and let us know what you think if you have any ideas any feedback any
thoughts we'd love to hear it let us know on together dob.com or while I'm getting a haircut that's also fine whatever works for
