Digital bank Banx issues Bancontact card and is now accessible in the Payconiq by Bancontact app
Banx, the new digital banking app from Belfius and Proximus, launched on the Belgian market last week. In addition to the banking app they are launching, they will also be issuing Bancontact cards.

Beeping and tapping: the new ways to pay
Belgians are increasingly using their smartphones to pay. In the first eight months of this year, they have already made as many mobile payments as in the whole of 2020, according to figures from Bancontact Payconiq Company. The contactless card has also gained a prominent place in our wallet: for the first time, there are more contactless Bancontact payments in shops than traditional Bancontact payments where you insert the card in the payment terminal and always enter your PIN code.
