What happens if you make a mistake when making a Bizum: 3 solutions

If you have just signed up or have entered your bank and see that something is not going well, you will ask yourself, why can't I do Bizum? Here are some of the causes of what may be happening:

• Connection error. If we are in an area or place with poor coverage or no internet connection, it will be impossible to perform any type of Bizum when not being able to connect to the servers.

• Application error Another of the most common errors that answer the question of why I can't do Bizum is the error of the bank application. Since Bizum does not have an app itself, if the bank's app does not work well, it will not be possible to send money through this system either.

• You have no money. If it's not the first time you've done Bizum, but one day you can't do it, see if you have enough money in your bank account.

• Check the balance limits. You should know that Bizum has limits on sending money. Although it is true that it is not easy to reach them, if you have done many Bizum, you may have completed the maximum number of transactions. There is a maximum weekly and monthly amount and there is a maximum amount limit per operation and day.

• Failed to dial the phone number. Care must be taken when dialing the recipient's phone number. If an error is made when entering the number and the recipient does not have this system activated, an error will appear.
