Official announcement from BBVA: it will catch many Bizum users by surprise

BBVA confirms that it is possible to carry out transactions with this tool from other countries if one condition is met.

BBVA has released an official announcement that solves several user doubts about using Bizum. In recent times, some thought this tool was only useful within Spanish territory or that they could not use it outside of Spain. However, the bank has confirmed that you can use Bizum to send money between countries, as long as certain requirements are met.

This option is available as long as the bank accounts you use, both for sending and receiving money, are Spanish. This means you can make a Bizum to anyone in another country, but both parties must have accounts in Spanish banks.

It is important to note that, even if you are abroad, there will be no problem using Bizum if your account is linked to BBVA in Spain. Additionally, it is not necessary for the phone number with which you register your account to be Spanish. This further facilitates the possibility of using the service from outside Spain.

BBVA Explains How to Use This Service Abroad

If you are in another country and want to make a Bizum, the first thing you need to do is ensure you have the BBVA app downloaded on your mobile. Then, you must link Bizum to your Spanish bank account. This process is quick and easy, and it will allow you to send and receive money with total convenience.

If you decide to open a bank account in another country, you must keep in mind that you will not be able to use Bizum with that new account. The tool is designed exclusively for Spanish bank accounts. Therefore, you will only be able to enjoy its benefits if you maintain an account with BBVA or another Spanish bank.

It is not only intended for transfers between friends and family. With this system, you can make payments in stores, make donations to NGOs, and, in general, carry out all kinds of financial operations. All in a fast and secure manner.

This makes it a very versatile tool, both for everyday situations and for more specific payments. In the case of BBVA, the integration of Bizum with its mobile app makes it even easier to manage transfers. As well as maintaining control over transactions.

The Potential of Bizum with BBVA

BBVA has clarified that you can do much more with Bizum than you thought. The possibility of sending and receiving money between Spain and abroad, as long as the accounts are Spanish, expands its usage options. Remember that you will only need to have the BBVA app on your phone and link your account to enjoy the benefits of the tool, whether you are in Spain or outside.

So, if you haven't yet tried Bizum or thought its use was limited to Spain, it is time to take advantage of its benefits. With this tool, the bank continues to innovate and make life easier for its customers. It offers them a quick, simple, and secure solution for making payments and transfers.
