Frequently asked questions about the change to your payment platform
Welcome to the new Bancontact and Wero payment platform. Do you have any questions or have you noticed a problem? We are happy to help you on this page.
Merchant Portal
I am experiencing issues exporting my transaction history.
There are currently a few known issues with the transaction export: the export is sometimes empty, does not always arrive at your email address, or displays the dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format. We are aware of this situation and are doing our best to resolve it as quickly as possible.
When you export your transaction history, it can take up to 30 minutes before you receive it by email. If you have not received the email after 30 minutes, please wait an additional 20 minutes before contacting our Support team. If you urgently require the transaction history, please contact our Support team via info@payconiq.be.

If something goes wrong, please contact our Support team via the contact form.
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 see an unknown user in my merchant account.
You may see a person you do not recognise in the list of users in your Merchant Portal. This is normal. Our Support team is currently engaged in troubleshooting issues and checking the data and operations within the Merchant Portal to ensure that everything is running smoothly. As a result, you might see one of our team members listed as a user in your merchant account. You can identify these team members by the email addresses used: these end with @bancontactpayconiq.com or @payconiq.be. This member has access to your account strictly for maintenance and control purposes.
I cannot see a structured communication (reference) on my incoming transactions.
There are currently technical issues with the display of the structured communications within the Merchant Portal. We are actively working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Payments and transactions
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.

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.
