How to use Bizum with N26?

Bizum is a payment platform integrated into the N26 app that connects your phone number with your bank account. It allows you to send and receive moneyinstantly between customers of different banks, using only the recipient's phone number.

With Bizum you can also request money from someone, sending notifications to the sender. Once your request is accepted, you will receive the money immediately.

• Have a Spanish IBAN (new tab) (ES)
• Have access to the phone number registered in your bank account (new tab). Always remember to keep your phone number up to date.
• Have your smartphone paired to the N26 app (new tab).

Super easy! Go to the Home app screen and click on “Send money”, then click on “Get started”. You will have to confirm your phone number and then you will have completed the registration.

This can happen for various reasons, we recommend:

• Check that your phone number is up to date on N26.
• Keep in mind that, so far, it is only possible to have Bizum linked only to one bank account. Therefore, if you are already using it on another account, you will have to unlink it from there or follow the Portability steps explained below to use Bizum on N26.
• If your situation is not one of the two mentioned above, we recommend that you contact our Customer Service from the app for further assistance.

During the activation of Bizum in N26, after entering your personal data, the app will identify if you are already registered in Bizum with another Bank. In order to activate it on N26, you will have to enter a code that we will send you by text message.

Go to the Home screen and click on ‘Send money’ or ‘Receive money’, depending on what you want to do; enter your friend’s phone number and the amount. The money you send will arrive instantly, and the requested money will enter your account as soon as the notification is accepted.

You can receive a maximum of 60 transfers by Bizum per month and make as many shipments as they want.

Bizum's limits are as follows:

• The amount of each transaction can be from €0.50 to €500.

You have to go to the “My account” section from the N26 app, then click on “Bizum settings”, and finally on “De-activate”. You will need the confirmation PIN to complete this procedure.

You will first need to update your phone number (new tab) from the N26 app.
