Bizum not only serves you to settle debts with family and friends or to pay for some goods and services, but it is also being deployed as a payment method for bureaucratic issues with the administration. And it is that ironically, although you can be fined for using Bizum, you can also you can use Bizum to pay fines.
Unfortunately, this form of payment is not yet standardized, but it is being progressively implemented in different locations in the state. These are the cities and autonomous communities where you can use Bizum to pay your fines.
It is important to consider that this article is restricted to fines and not other payments to the administration such as fees and taxes. In addition, in some cases this decision to add Bizum or not is not the responsibility of the municipality, but of the autonomous community, which can enable it in its region.
Finally, it should be noted that the payment with Bizum for certain procedures with the administration is one more optional payment method which is added to the existing ones.
