Neither transfer nor card: Banco Santander, CaixaBank, and BBVA prepare more changes
The country's main banks verify how there is a payment system with enormous success among users
In recent years, the banking world has experienced a remarkable evolution in the way citizens make their payments. Bank transfers and credit or debit cards have been the most used options for decades. But times are changing.
Recently, the Madrid City Council has incorporated Bizum as an option for the payment of taxes, fees, and other municipal income rights. This has highlighted a shift in the most common payment methods. Banco Santander, BBVA, and CaixaBank have already confirmed that transfers and cards will lose ground as Bizum and other systems become established.
More convenience and speed
The Bizum service, which allows instant payments between individuals, is here to stay. Its integration into the payment systems of major Spanish banks like Banco Santander, BBVA, and CaixaBank, makes transactions more agile. This convenience has been further extended with the recent incorporation of Bizum in the field of municipal payments.

From now on, Madrid residents will be able to pay their municipal taxes and fees directly from their mobile phones using this tool. This new option, which offers great speed and convenience, will allow citizens not to waste time, especially by avoiding trips to municipal offices or Banco Santander, BBVA, or CaixaBank to make these payments.
Despite the speed and convenience that Bizum offers, it's natural to wonder about the security of this payment system. Both Banco Santander, BBVA, and CaixaBank assure that it is a secure tool. The system uses high levels of protection to ensure the security of each transaction, protecting users' personal and banking data.
Additionally, payment through Bizum is linked to users' bank accounts, which adds an extra layer of trust.

Banco Santander, CaixaBank, and BBVA adapt to the new times
With the incorporation of Bizum in the payment of municipal taxes, it is clear that this payment system is becoming increasingly relevant. Meanwhile, it is already replacing traditional bank transfers or card payments in many operations.
For now, Bizum is incorporated as an additional alternative to other payment methods such as account charges, direct debits, or cards. In any case, this new free and easy-to-use payment channel seems to have arrived to stay. However, it is important to note that Banco Santander, BBVA, and CaixaBank can set their own conditions regarding the use of Bizum.
