Bancontact
Gain access to shoppers on Bancontact
Founded in 1989, and now a brand from the Bancontact Payconiq Company, Bancontact makes it possible to pay directly through the online payment systems of all major Belgian banks for customers with Bancontact payment cards. At checkout, the consumer enters their card details or scans the QR code, then authorises payments.
With 20 Belgian banks issuing Bancontact cards, Bancontact continues to be the strongest payment brand in Belgium, and the preferred method of payment for Belgians.
