Can MB WAY be used outside Portugal?
Partly. Since 2025, the EuroPA link lets MB WAY users send money to Bizum users in Spain and Bancomat Pay users in Italy, and by August 2026 it worked at most Portuguese banks. SIBS plans transfers across 13 European countries by the end of 2026 and payments at merchants in those countries in 2027.
