For Javier Rey, Director of Digital Channels at ALSA, payment with Bizum "places ALSA, once again, as a pioneering and innovative company in this field.

How to buy tickets with Bizum

Bizum users can now activate this functionality through their bank, registering the Bizum Key, a four-digit code that works similarly to a card PIN and that each user will use to make purchases on portals that have enabled the Bizum option on their website. This code is unique to each user and valid for all purchases; the user can modify it whenever they want.

The website https://bizum.es contains the updated list of entities that work with this form of payment, as well as the process for obtaining the Bizum Key in each case and a tutorial of the payment process.

Bizum is a joint initiative of Spanish banks launched in 2016 as part of its digital innovation strategy, with the aim of facilitating the sending and requesting of money between contacts by linking the telephone number with a bank account. Today it has 25 financial institutions among its shareholders, representing 96% of the Spanish banking system.
