Frequently asked questions about the change to your payment platform
Your Payconiq payment platform will soon be evolving into the new Bancontact and Wero payment platform. Do you have any questions during this transition, or have you noticed a problem? We are happy to help you on this page.

Merchant Portal
When I try to export my transaction history from the new Merchant Portal, I get an error message.
We are aware of the situation and apologise for the inconvenience. Our team is working hard to restore the transaction history export function as soon as possible. We expect the issue to be resolved shortly.
Do you need an overview of your previous transactions? You can view your transaction history in the “Transaction list” in the Merchant Portal.
Would you still like to export your transaction history? Please contact our Support team at info@payconiq.be. Please include your Merchant ID or CBE number and clearly indicate the period for which you would like to receive the transaction history (e.g. from 1/09/2025 to today).
There are two Merchant Portals. Which one do I use?
Once your merchant account has been switched from the Payconiq platform to the Bancontact and Wero platform, you will receive one or more emails from us.
If the most recent (or only) email you received was a confirmation email with the subject “Your account has been transferred to the new payment system”: Good news — your account has successfully been moved to the new Bancontact and Wero payment system, and you now have access to the new Merchant Portal (merchant-portal.bancontact.net). Please note that you no longer have access to the old portal.
If the most recent email you received was a rollback email with the subject “Your account has been reverted back to the Payconiq payment system”: Unfortunately, something went wrong during the transfer of your account to the new Bancontact and Wero payment system, so we reverted your account back to the Payconiq payment system. This means you don’t have access yet to the new Merchant Portal but can continue using the old portal (portal.payconiq.com).
What are my login credentials for the new Merchant Portal?
Once your merchant account is transferred to the new Merchant Portal, you will receive an invitation email to set up a new password. Follow the instructions in this email. You can use the same email address as you use for the old portal (which is the email address mentioned in your contract).
Please note: the link to set up a new password is only available for 24 hours. If the link has expired, please request a new one or go to merchant-portal.bancontact.net and click on ‘Forgot password’.
I can no longer see the payer name in my transaction overview.
Whether the payer’s name appears in your transaction overview depends on your bank. We are in contact with the banks about this issue, and they are aware of the situation.
If you have any further questions about this, please reach out directly to your bank.
I have issues accessing or viewing the Merchant Portal.
Some merchants with a more complex business structure (for example, those with multiple shops under one merchant account) may experience issues accessing the Merchant Portal. We are currently investigating the problem and working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
Payouts
My transactions are being paid out by ‘SEGREGATED ACCOUNT’. What is this?
Previously, your daily transactions were paid out under the name “BANCONTACT PAYCONIQ COMPANY.” You may now see “SEGREGATED ACCOUNT” as the payer name instead. The “SEGREGATED ACCOUNT” is a trusted bank account belonging to Bancontact Payconiq Company.
We understand this may be confusing and are currently investigating how to revert this change as soon as possible.
I can no longer see my individual transactions and the payer name in my bank app.
In early May 2025, it was announced that your daily transaction payouts would be made in a grouped manner. With grouped payments, all successful Payconiq transactions of the same workday are combined and deposited as a single amount into your bank account before 9:00 AM the following day *.
At that time, it was possible to temporarily opt out of this change for technical or specific reasons. However, with the discontinuation of the Payconiq platform, all transactions of the same workday will now be grouped.
You can still view a detailed overview of all individual transactions for your business in the Merchant Portal.
*Please note: the total grouped amount will be transferred to your bank account, but processing times may vary depending on your bank.
Transactions
When a customer scans my QR code, the legal name is displayed instead of the shop name.
This is a slight modification that came with the recent update to your system. We understand it may not be ideal in all situations and appreciate your understanding.
Update of your payment platform
Why did I receive multiple emails?
Every merchant should have received a final reminder email about the upcoming change in their payment platform. Once the switch in our system is done, you should receive at least 1 email from us, stating the switch has been done and asking you to perform a test transaction.
Through this test transaction, we can verify whether the update of your platform was successful.
- If the update was successful, you will receive an email inviting you to the new Merchant Portal.
- If the update was unsuccessful, you will receive an email explaining that your system has been rolled back to the Payconiq platform and a date for which a new attempt is planned.
If you received multiple confirmation and roll-back emails then this means the update was attempted and that you were no longer matched to the Payconiq platform in our system. After further testing, our system could no longer confirm the successful switch of your platform so automatic roll-back email was sent. It is possible that our system retried the matching and testing a few times, hence causing multiple same emails.
When will my (other) products be switched to the Bancontact and Wero platform?
The evolution of our payment platform is a gradual process, carried out in multiple phases. Depending on your product type, you will receive a final reminder email with the scheduled migration date for your payment solution.
If an initial update attempt was made but was unsuccessful, you will receive an email notifying you that your system has been rolled back to the Payconiq platform, along with the date of the next planned update attempt.
Can I choose when my payment platform is switched to the new platform?
No. The specific date for the update to your payment system is set by us, and you will be notified of it by email.
How do I know if my payment solution was switched to the Bancontact and Wero platform?
If the last (or only) email you received from us was a confirmation email (subject: “Your account has been transferred to the new payment system”):
Good news — your account is now on the new Bancontact and Wero payment system. You can continue using your payment solution as usual.
If the last email you received was a rollback email (subject: “Your account has been reverted back to the Payconiq payment system”):
Unfortunately, something went wrong during the transfer to the new Bancontact and Wero system, so your account was reverted back to the Payconiq payment system. For now, you can continue using your payment solution as before. A new update attempt is planned, and the date will be communicated in the email.
I did not receive any new emails after the date mentioned in the final reminder email.
Did you receive a final reminder email with the subject “Final reminder about your Payconiq solution”? If so, you should have received at least one additional email after the scheduled update date. Please check your spam or junk folder.
If you still cannot find any emails, please contact us at info@payconiq.be.
My payment solution has been reverted to the Payconiq platform. What happens now?
For now, you can continue using your payment solution as usual. However, a new update date has been scheduled and communicated in the rollback email.
If you use an integrated solution via API key, please make sure to update the endpoint within the timeframe specified in the rollback email. Be sure to check the developer portal for any additional steps you may need to follow.
I am new to the Payconiq payment platform. What is happening?
When you signed your contract, you were informed about the upcoming evolution of the Payconiq platform to the Bancontact and Wero platform. When it’s time to update your platform, you will receive an email from us with the scheduled switch date. This email will contain all the relevant information you may need.
If you use an integrated payment solution via an API key, your system update was planned for Sunday, 19 October 2025.
If you experience any issues with your payment solution and work with an integrator, please contact them to ensure the endpoint has been correctly updated. If you do not work with an integrator, please reach out to devsupport@payconiq.be for assistance.
