Do you have any questions about how to receive your bonus of up to €840?

We’ll tell you everything you need to know

No, there is no tie-in period or penalty

If you don’t meet the conditions in a given month, you’ll receive the bonus once you meet them again, in a subsequent bonus period.

1. If you don’t meet the income condition (salary, self-employed contribution or pension)

You won’t receive any bonus that month, even if you meet the Bizum or direct debit conditions.

The income condition must be met to qualify for any incentive.

2. If you meet the income condition but not Bizum or direct debits

You will continue to receive the bonus for salary, self-employed contributions or pension.
You simply won’t receive the incentive linked to the condition you didn’t meet. In other words, you will still earn, but you won’t receive that particular incentive.

For example, if you only sent 1 Bizum payment but have your two direct debits set up, that month you would receive €15 for paying in a salary above €1,500, plus a further €10 for your direct debits.

3. If you don’t meet any conditions

You won’t earn any bonus that month.

The €840 is made up of the amounts you receive each month over 24 months.

You can start earning simply by switching your salary to us. Here’s an example:

€15/month for paying in a salary of €1,500 or more × 24 months = €360

You can increase what you earn further by using your account day to day:

+€10/month for sending at least 3 Bizum payments × 24 months = €240
+€10/month for setting up two direct debits for bills × 24 months = €240

If you meet all these conditions, you’ll receive a total of €840 over two years.
