Donate €2 to charity with Scan for Change
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.
Pay mobile during Weekend van de Klant / Weekend du Client
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.

Beeping and tapping: the new ways to pay
Belgians are increasingly using their smartphones to pay. In the first eight months of this year, they have already made as many mobile payments as in the whole of 2020, according to figures from Bancontact Payconiq Company. The contactless card has also gained a prominent place in our wallet: for the first time, there are more contactless Bancontact payments in shops than traditional Bancontact payments where you insert the card in the payment terminal and always enter your PIN code.
Back to school or back to work? That means back to beeping!
The new school year has started and we no longer have to work from home. Normal life is just around the corner and the Payconiq by Bancontact makes this return a little easier. Because all the handy features in your app make sure you’re totally ready for fall!
