Bizum is a mobile payment platform that lets people send and receive money using their phones. Its user base is growing quickly, including millions of users across Spain, and the service continues to expand its reach into other markets. In recent figures, Bizum reported total payments reaching tens of billions of euros, with most transfers executed peer to peer and an average size per operation around the mid double digits. This momentum highlights Bizum as a major option for quick, cardless money movements in everyday life.
In fact, Bizum has become a common method for a large share of online transactions. Since its arrival in the Spanish market, the platform has built a solid registration footprint and continues to evolve. The company has disclosed that the platform processes payments in very short time frames and that the speed of these transfers can be near instantaneous, which underscores the importance of careful review before confirming any payment.
How to cancel a post on Bizum
Even with widespread use, many users still wonder how Bizum handles cancellations and refunds after a payment is completed. The core question remains whether a payment can be reversed once it has gone through. This is especially relevant for users who want to reverse a mistaken transfer.

The official Bizum channel explains what happens when a payment is made in error and a reversal is requested. While some guidance exists, the practical reality is that canceling a completed subscription or transfer is rarely feasible, and the movement of funds can be very fast, making reversal challenging by design.
Bizum notes that once a payment is completed, reversing it is not typically possible. Some payment requests may involve a window during which the recipient can accept or reject, but standard financial transfers are instant and usually cannot be undone. Therefore, users are encouraged to review details carefully before sending money and to verify the recipient and amount.
In practice, if a submitting user believes a mistake occurred, the best course is to contact the recipient and request a refund. The option to cancel is not guaranteed and depends on the recipient’s willingness to return the funds. This is a reminder that no guarantee exists for reversals once a payment is finalized.
While Bizum emphasizes that loan-style reversals are not standard after completion, there is still a possibility to work with the bank to explore available options. If the customer’s bank allows cancellation of certain transactions, it is worth following those steps:
-
Open Bizum on a mobile device and access the account.
-
Locate Transaction History and select the transfer in question.
-
Look for Cancel transaction or Cancel payment and choose it.
-
Confirm the cancellation. In some cases an explanation may be requested for the cancellation.
-
If successful, a notification should confirm the cancellation and the funds return to the sender.
It is important to repeat that cancellations are not always possible. If the recipient already received the money, refunds depend on their cooperation. Therefore, a careful check of all details before sending remains the strongest safeguard against mistakes.
If an unintended transfer was sent, notifying the recipient promptly and requesting a refund is advisable. The feasibility of this step depends on the recipient and the willingness to cooperate. In any case, users should rely on the bank’s options when available and pursue the simplest path to resolution.
