Unicaja allows its customers to make payments with Bizum from Spain to users in Italy, Portugal and Andorra, quickly and securely, thus reinforcing financial connectivity.

 

The interoperability of Bizum with the payment platforms of Bancomat in Italy and MB WAY in Portugal, within the framework of the EuroPA (European Payments Alliance) initiative, strengthens the connection between users and financial institutions in Europe, improving financial accessibility by enabling more than 50 million customers to make immediate payments.

 

This expansion of the Bizum service, which has more than 30 million users in Spain, guarantees the same agile, simple and secure experience that characterizes the platform, and maintains compliance with European regulations and data protection standards.

 

In addition, the security and reliability of the system ensure that customers can operate with complete confidence in an international payment environment.

 

Commitment to innovation

 

This new functionality, whose scope will soon be extended to new countries, responds to Unicaja's commitment to offer innovative solutions to its customers to optimize their financial management.

 

The bank reaffirms its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement of digital financial services, promoting, in this case, the financial connectivity of people in Europe with a fast, efficient and secure payment method.
