One of the features that has made Bizum a highly recommended app is the speed of the service, i.e. the immediate issuance and receipt of payments. But what you can do as a Bizumer is not limited to settling debts between friends or shopping online: Bizum is also a transparent and secure way to make donations to NGOs without any commission in the process.
There are already more than 1,500 NGOs that have joined this donation service through Bizum. The NGO code works as an identifier for the different institutions and campaigns underway. How to make a donation to an NGO with Bizum? The system is very similar to that of payments between friends or payments to online stores. You have to access the app of your bank in which you have the service activated and select the option “contribute to a charitable cause”. Once at this point, you can continue the process in two different ways:
1. Select the NGO from the list provided by the app.
Manually enter the code of the campaign that is active at that moment. On our website, you can find a list of NGOs that accept donations with Bizum and their corresponding campaigns.
After completing the amount and confirming the transaction, the organization you have selected will receive your donation instantly. If once you have made the payment to the NGO you want to request the donation certificate, especially for tax purposes, you will need to send an email to the receiving organization with the following information so that the NGO can identify your donation:
– First and last name.
– DNI number.
– Mailing address.
– E-mail.
– Amount donated.
Where to find the contact email? Again, in our list of NGOs, we provide you with the email address so that you can request the certificate. You can also consult more information about the objectives of each specific campaign through the attached links and check the dates in which it is being developed (although some NGOs also have recurring campaigns that are active continuously).
This service is completely free, has no commission and, as always, Bizum offers all the guarantees of security and transparency in operations. NGOs that use Bizum as a channel for receiving donations are verified by the banks, which are ultimately responsible for enabling this service. Donations to NGOs through Bizum have multiplied in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic due to the higher degree of digitalization of the population and because they offer a fast and secure alternative to bank transfers. Undoubtedly, thanks to Bizumers, this non-profit service is reducing the hurdles NGOs face in securing new donations. Collaborating with those most in need is now easier than ever.
