In Android, what is going to be done is to place the application of a bank itself, such as CaixaBank, on the home screen, so that, with a long press on the icon, a menu appears with several options. What matters is making a payment with Bizum. Now all you have to do is press and hold “Pay with Bizum” again and drags anywhere on the screen to free him.

Bizum on iPhone

On an iPhone the operation is similar, but it doesn’t offer the best experience offered by Android. Indeed, you have to search for the bank application, long press on the icon and thus the option of payment with Bizum appears to press on it.

On the iPhone, the quick payment option with Bizum appears in the Imaginbank and ING applications. Of course, there are no traces in well-known applications such as those of Santander, Banco Sabadell or Openbank, although there are some in that of BBVA or CaixaBank itself. Quick and easy access to make payments with Bizum and not waste a second doing it. And it is precisely this comfortable and fast experience that has made it one of the payment standards in Europe in just a few years.
