Galicia - El banco en tu celu

What the app covers and who it suits

This is the mobile banking app from Banco de Galicia. It handles everyday banking, card management, investing and insurance from one screen. Existing customers can use it, and so can people opening a first account, since the listing says an account can be opened online through the app for free.

Most of its functions are about moving money: paying, transferring, depositing and keeping track of bills. The investing and dollar tools sit alongside them.

Transfers, deposits and bill payments

Transfers can go to contacts or to your own accounts. Money can also be brought in from other virtual wallets and banks. Services and taxes can be paid in the app, and it sends alerts before their due dates.

The listing does not describe the transfer or deposit limits.

Paying in stores and online

In shops, payments can be made with QR codes, NFC or contactless. The app also shows your card details, so you can buy online without the physical card in hand.

Managing credit cards

You can pay your card balance from the app and see each card's transactions and statements. Available credit limits are shown in the same place.

Buying dollars, investing and promotions

Dollars can be bought and sold in the app. Dollar yield can be switched on for a savings account. For investing, the listing names Fima funds, shares, bonds and CEDEARs.

An interactive map shows promotions near your location. A savings counter adds up what you save through those promotions automatically. Insurance quotes are available for car, home, cell phone, pet and bicycle cover, and a 24/7 chat is available for help.
