And over a ten-year period, payments with Bancontact and Payconiq have increased from 1 billion to 2.3 billion.

The company has never before exceeded the 2 billion mark for electronic payments in the same year. This figure illustrates the fact that an ever increasing numbers of Belgians are making the switch from cash to mobile and card payments. It also shows that payment solutions offered by a local player can be very successful on the Belgian market.
