What's new?
With the Cash via App feature, you now also have the option of depositing cash into your account. This complements the existing feature that allows you to withdraw cash without any minimum purchase.
Both features use a barcode that you create in your BBVA app and have scanned at checkout.
It's this simple:
- Open the BBVA App and enter the desired deposit amount.
- Generate your barcode.
- Show the barcode at checkout at a participating partner – such as REWE, Penny, dm, Rossmann, and many more.
- Your cash will be immediately credited to your BBVA account.
the advantages of depositing money in retail stores
- At around 12,000 participating supermarkets and retailers in Germany: Aldi, Lidl, Edeka, Rewe, Kaufland, Netto Marken-Discount, Penny, Rossmann, dm, and Müller
- Free of charge during the introductory phase, until January 31, 2026. The deposit fee of 1.4% will only apply starting on February 1, 2026.
- No minimum purchase required - just go directly to the checkout at the participating retail partner.
Deposit cash – and do it for free!
