      Request to Pay

      A new way to request payments from your customers

      • Streamline payments: both the submission of the request and the receipt of the payment are instant and online.
      • You get more control over your collections than with other traditional methods.
      • Everything is recorded in just one place (sending, accepting the request and payment).
      Request information

      How does Request to Pay work?

      • You send a request to the customer

        When you want to collect from a customer, just send them a Request to Pay with the payment amount and details.
      • The customer accepts and pays you

        Your customer receives it and can see all the details. What's more, the payment process is carried out directly from Request to Pay and you will receive it through a transfer.

      Request to Pay: everything you earn

      You decide when and how you're paid

      • More flexibility

        When generating a Request to Pay, you set the deadlines for your customers to accept and pay, which can be immediate or by setting a specific date.

        If your customer rejects the request, you will receive the reason for the rejection, enabling you to anticipate possible non-payments.

      • Don't waste time processing mandates
        You save the hassle of sending a mandate and waiting for the customer to accept and sign it before you can set up a direct debit. Request to Pay is more direct: you set it up, send it and get paid.

      Easier recovery management

      • Save time and money processing non-payments

        When a customer doesn't pay a direct debited bill, things get complicated: you don't know exactly when you'll get paid, how, or what the payment will be for.

        Request to Pay lets you send a payment request or reuse an existing one. Your customer will be able to review all the details of the request before accepting and confirming payment.

        In addition, this payment is made by transfer, is irrevocable, and does not permit returned payments, unlike direct debits.

      It gives you a competitive edge

      • Boost your sales
        The payment method has a strategic value for your business. This option lets you give your customers a sense of control without losing it yourself, which is very useful considering that direct debits are becoming less popular, especially among young people.
      • It works throughout Europe
        Request to Pay is compatible with leading banks throughout Europe. If you have business in other countries, you can use this payment method in different areas.

      BBVA, the best Digital Bank in Spain for Companies 2025

      The prestigious publication Global Finance has recognized BBVA as the best digital bank in Spain for businesses in 2025.

      Would you like more information?

      Request to Pay is a new payment method that lets you send payment requests to your customers. You can set up the acceptance/rejection and payment terms directly in the app. Your customer receives the request and, if they are satisfied, accepts and makes the payment.

      To issue a Request to Pay, you must access the "Request to Pay" menu option when you log in to the BBVA Business website.

      The holder must:

      • Have a checking account open with BBVA.
      • Have signed an Online Banking or Remote Banking, Business, or Multi-Channel contract with BBVA.

      You must also sign up for the Request to Pay product as the issuer.

      Yes, as long as your customer's bank participates in the Request to Pay system.

      Yes, it is a good idea to inform your customers about this new payment option available to them.

      There are two ways to make a Request to Pay to an individual:

      • Requesting the payer's IBAN.
      • Requesting their DNI/NIE (National ID/Foreigner's ID) and selected bank for receiving the Request to Pay.

      *The only option currently available for companies is the IBAN option.

      Yes, there are 3 alternatives:

      • Instant transfer.
      • Ordinary transfer.
      • Preferably instant transfer (default setting to prevent false rejections by the recipient due to incompatibility with certain payment instruments).

      If you are an issuer, Request to Pay lets you offer your customers an alternative payment method. As a customizable payment request, it gives you flexibility in your payment requests.

      In addition, as it is processed as a transfer, it offers advantages over other payment methods, such as direct debits (return period).

      In addition, it provides automatic reconciliation and traceability of the request at all times.

      The recipient will enjoy greater control over their spending. The recipient will receive a notification with the request and can choose when to pay, within the timeframe selected by the issuer. There are no associated fees. The amount to be paid will be the exact amount of the request. 

      The payer receives the payment request through their bank, informing them of all the details of the request: name of the issuer, amount, description, and acceptance and payment deadlines.

      The payer decides whether to accept or reject the request.

      If accepted, the payer can choose the payment method from the options offered by the issuer or schedule the payment if it is not immediate.

      The established deadline is currently 3 months.
