Merchant Acquiring & Risk

Redsys' infrastructure connects more than 1.5 million active merchants across Visa, Mastercard and other brands, processing over EUR 505 billion and 19.7 billion transactions annually as Spain's dominant acquiring-processing backbone. Amazon's Bizum integration and a 19% year-on-year rise in Bizum-accepting merchants, now more than 50,000, signal a tipping-point shift of Spanish merchants toward account-to-account checkout and away from card-scheme acquiring, though this single-source market-research finding warrants corroboration before being treated as a confirmed structural shift.
