How does the Openbank referral program work?

An eligible Openbank customer gets a personal referral code from the app or Customer Area. The friend must enter that code while opening the Open Current Account by September 30, 2026. After the friend makes three qualifying purchases with the new Open Debit Card, Openbank pays €50 net to each side.

How to qualify step by step

  1. 1

    Get the personal code

    In the Openbank app, open Refer a friend from the home screen or side menu. On the web, use Customer Area → Your profile → Refer a friend.

  2. 2

    Enter the code during account opening

    The invited person must use the referral code while opening the account. It cannot be added later to stack this offer with another new-customer promo.

  3. 3

    Make three card purchases

    The new customer must make three purchases with the Open Debit Card. Openbank says there is no minimum purchase amount.

  4. 4

    Complete the optional Bizum milestone

    To earn the extra €20 each, the new customer activates Bizum within 30 days and both parties satisfy the two-month Bizum condition.

How much can you earn?

3 qualifying card purchases€50 net each
Qualifying Bizum activationExtra €20 net each
Maximum per qualifying friend€70 net each
Maximum for the referrer€700 net across the first 10 qualifying friends

Openbank describes these amounts as net. It applies the corresponding withholding before crediting the incentive; the bank also notes that the incentive must be declared for Spanish tax purposes.

Who is eligible in Spain?

The invited person must be a qualifying new Openbank customer and the main holder of the new account. A former customer can participate only if they were not an Openbank customer during the 12 months before the promotion started.

  • The friend must open the account with the referral code by September 30, 2026, inclusive.
  • Both referrer and referred customer must be main holders of their respective accounts for the €50 reward.
  • The extra Bizum reward does not apply if either person benefited from another Openbank Bizum promotion in the previous 12 months.

What counts as the three purchases?

Openbank requires three payments with the new Open Debit Card. The current page says any purchase amount counts, but Bizum payments and Bizum transfers do not count toward the three-card-payment requirement.

When is the Openbank referral reward paid?

Openbank says rewards are credited between the 15th and 20th of the month after the relevant requirement is met. The €50 follows the qualifying account opening and three card payments; the extra €20 follows completion of the Bizum holding period.

Can you publish an Openbank referral code online?

No. Openbank's current rules say the code is personal and single-use and classify public or mass distribution as improper use. The examples explicitly include forums, social media, comparison sites, websites and coupon platforms.

Can the referral offer be combined with another welcome code?

No. Openbank explicitly says a customer who opens through a friend's referral code cannot later add another new-customer promotional code such as OPEN275. Choose the promotion you want before opening the account.

Is the Openbank referral program worth it?

For someone already planning to open an Openbank account in Spain, the current offer is simple: three card purchases unlock the main €50 net reward for both sides, and Bizum can add €20 more each. The main caveats are the September 30 deadline, the 10-friend cap, the non-combinability with other welcome offers and Openbank's strict restriction on public code sharing.

How much is the Openbank referral reward?+

When does the current Openbank referral promotion end?+

Do Bizum payments count as the three required purchases?+

The extra €20 has separate Bizum conditions: the new customer must activate Bizum at Openbank within 30 days and keep it active for at least 60 days, while the referrer must also meet the stated Bizum holding condition. Prior Bizum promotions can also make the extra reward ineligible.

No under the current rules. Openbank lists forums, social media, comparison sites, websites, coupon platforms and other public or mass-distribution channels as improper use and may withhold or reclaim rewards.

When does Openbank pay the referral bonus?+

Openbank says the money is paid between the 15th and 20th of the month after the relevant requirement is met.
