Bizum was born as an alternative to possible dangers and problems posed by payment methods over the Internet. Bizum is a simple system to use , and that a priori is totally safe as well as comfortable, since it allows us to carry out money transactions almost effortlessly.
Since its creation in 2016 as a star project of Spanish banking, in just three years it has managed to have 6 million users. There are also alternatives to Bizum, but its use has spread like wildfire, being one of the most widely used money transfer methods among Spaniards. This has led to bad practices by some users, becoming the perfect method and the news of countless phishing attacks.
