What happens if I make Bizum to someone who doesn’t have it? We explain it to you

Relax, even if you send a Bizum to a person without Bizum your money is still safe and controlled. Here’s what happens:

• • 1. When sending a Bizum to a person who is not registered in the system, the recipient receives an SMS at that moment. The recipient is informed that an amount of money has been sent and who sent it.
  • 2. In the same SMS it is indicated that in order to receive the money, it must be given in Bizum in less than 48h. Following the steps indicated by your bank.

So far so clear. So what happens if I make a payment to a person who does not have Bizum: for the moment you have to wait, since the user has 48 hours to register and receive the money. So, if he/she registers, no problem, the amount is paid and the debt is settled!

If the recipient of your Bizum does not register within 48 hours. Don’t worry. The money transfer does not materialize, so the money will not leave your account.
Remember to use another method to pay off your debt…a good Bizumer always pays his debts.

The opposite of making a payment can also occur: requesting someone to pay us an amount through Bizum. The mechanism is similar to the previous one: the person to whom the payment is requested will receive an SMS asking for the payment and for seven days he/she will be able to register as a Bizum user and, if he/she wants, make the payment.

As you can see, your money with Bizum is always safe, whatever the scenario. That’s why (if you are not yet a Bizumer) we leave you here new reasons that will convince you to join the fastest, safest and easiest money transfer system that exists.
