The CaixaBankNow app now includes the option to easily share direct debit charges between several people.

This is a service designed for a range of joint expenses, such as rent paid on a shared flat or the cost of utilities with a partner. The biggest advantage is the enhanced user experience, since in just one click the customer can activate the entire transaction and have the total amount on screen, without having to remember it, to split as he or she sees fit.

To use the service, CaixaBank customers simply go to the bill details in the ’My Bills’ section. From there, they can select the option to split the expense using Bizum. The Bizum transaction starts automatically, and the total amount of the bill is displayed on the screen without the user having to do anything. The customer can change this amount, if they wish, and then select the person they want to send the payment request to.

CaixaBank, leader in mobile payments and in technological innovation

CaixaBank currently has the largest digital customer base among financial institutions in Spain, with more than 11 million customers of its CaixaBankNow and imagin online banking services. It is also the leading bank in terms of the number of Bizum users, with 7.43 million registered customers at the end of April. CaixaBank has recently become the first financial institution to make it possible for government agencies to integrate Bizum into their online platforms for collecting taxes and fines instantly and automatically.
