The holidays
are approaching and many, after the end of the state of alarm, the improvement of coronavirus incidence data in many countries of the world and the lifting of restrictions, are wanting to pack their suitcases and rediscover those places that were pending in the last months.
Tourist places, paradisiacal beaches, unknown corners in which to get lost and two concerns that always occupy us for some time the days before taking the car, train, bus, plane or boat: how to use the mobile phone in the foreign place to which we are going and how to continue paying , both in cash and by card or Bizum…
Can I use Bizum abroad
Spaniards around the World, if you can use Bizum abroad, but with one essential condition. The mandatory requirement to be able to use Bizum abroad is that the bank account is Spanish . Parents with Erasmus students, you can finance your children’s purchases in the supermarket without having to put the ham or the loin in their suitcases; Married couples who are going on their honeymoon to Cancun, you can prolong your stay on that white sand beach and crystal clear water with the extra shipment that your friends send you from Spain. Friends who are in London, Paris or Rome, you can half pay for that special dinner to reminisce about old times. Caring people who wantcontinue supporting your usual NGO from afar , you can continue contributing your grain of sand to this great cause.
Bizum can be used abroad if the mobile is connected to a Spanish bank account.
Of course, pay close attention! If during your stay you need to open a new account in a bank in the country where you study, work or are on vacation, the Bizum service will not be available
Bizum with a foreign mobile
Using Bizum InternationalIt depends on the bank account to which the mobile is associated and not on the mobile itself. This means that if we buy a new phone abroad with a foreign number, there will be no problem sending and receiving Bizum as long as we associate that number with the bank account with a Spanish IBAN. Telephone companies usually include international roaming
in their rates . You keep your line with your current contract and use data and calls at no additional cost. Even if they add an extra charge, you might be interested in keeping the number of the Spanish terminal so you don’t have to communicate new numbers to your contacts for a short stay.
Bizum signs up, thus, to accompany you on your international adventures. That is, taking into account that the limit of operations per month is already 60 and knowing everything you must take into account now when using the services of the platform
