Received a Bizum request?

A Bizum request is asking you to send money. It isn’t money coming into your account.

Only accept a request if you know who sent it and you’re expecting to make the payment.

If someone tells you to accept a Bizum request so you can receive money, it’s a scam. Get in touch with us.
