With a service that has radically changed the way payments are made in Spain, the company that has managed to unite all the banks still has a long way to go abroad.

Of course, allowing operations in any international territory, the key to Bizum is that it operates from national accounts, that is, based in Spain. For this reason, it is not enough just to have the corresponding application once you travel abroad, but you must also have a Spanish IBAN.
