The cooperative bank NewB releases its first Bancontact card on the market. The card completes the bank's offering, which in addition to its insurance products also includes a current account, a savings account and green loans (consumer loans). NewB is the 20th bank to issue Bancontact cards.

At the beginning of October, the Scan for Change campaign starts. An innovative way to donate small amounts to charities. Thanks to the Payconiq by Bancontact app, you can easily make a 2 euro donation by scanning a QR code. The initiative launches in collaboration with the King Baudouin Foundation and aims to stimulate a new way of collecting funds and above all to raise awareness of good causes among young people. 28 different charities active within 6 different social themes participate in the action. "We hope that donating small amounts will become part of everyday life," says Bancontact Payconiq Company.

Weekend van de Klant / Weekend du Client takes place this weekend, on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 October. It will be a festive shopping weekend with many local merchants spoiling their customers with a gift or reward. And there’s more, because for every mobile payment made with the Payconiq by Bancontact app, Bancontact Payconiq Company together with Worldline will donate 1 cent to Digital for Youth. An organization that strives to provide all young people with safe and easy access to ICT. So be sure to pay with your app and support your local shop and our youth during the Weekend van de Klant/Weekend du Client.
