This gradual rollout targets users and businesses based on their banking institutions, marking a significant step in extending Bizum&#8217;s presence beyond person-to-person transfers in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The platform&#8217;s expansion enables in-person payments via two primary channels: banks&#8217; own mobile applications and the Bizum Pay wallet. However, the availability of these channels is subject to each bank&#8217;s discretion, determining whether customers access one or both options.<\/p>\n<p>According to the launch plan, the feature will initially be accessible to &#8220;small groups of users&#8221; from this Monday, reflecting a controlled and incremental deployment. Not all users or merchants will gain immediate access, as participation varies according to individual banks&#8217; schedules.<\/p>\n<p>Each participating financial institution will decide how to offer Bizum&#8217;s in-store payment functionality within their services. The platform aims to broaden accessibility to the general public soon, although an exact timetable has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>This approach aligns with Bizum&#8217;s steady growth in user numbers and its ongoing efforts to become a widely accepted payment method across retail and hospitality venues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bizum initiates its phased introduction for payments at physical stores and bars starting today, 18 May.
