I’m already using an app from my bank. Can I still install the Payconiq by Bancontact app, too?
Of course! The Payconiq by Bancontact app gives you even more options for making mobile payments. For instance, you can easily pay online wherever you see the Bancontact logo. And, of course, you can also make mobile payments in all stores, supermarkets or restaurants that accept Payconiq. Plus, the Payconiq by Bancontact app makes it very easy to pay back money you owe to friends, even remotely. Finally, the app also offers other services: you can add loyalty cards, receive and pay your invoices directly in the app, purchase bus and train tickets, and so on. Very handy!
