Mercadona is testing Bizum Pay payments at the checkouts of several supermarkets, with its Soria stores as the first testing ground, to measure speed and flow at the checkout line before extending the system. The chain already accepted Bizum for its online store. With Bizum Pay, money leaves the customer's bank account and reaches the merchant's in seconds via instant transfer, without a card, by tapping the phone on the contactless terminal or scanning a QR code. The merchant only needs to activate the service.
