We will soon be able to dance and sing at festivals and concerts again. And this is good news, not only for the public, but above all for the Belgian live music sector which has had to go without applause for a year. Technicians, stage editors and artists are finding it more and more difficult to survive financially and therefore need all the support possible more than ever.

As a result of the health measures, consumers' payment habits have changed dramatically. Delhaize is also seeing this changing trend in its stores. Customers pay for their purchases more often contactless with their bank card or via their smartphone. To respond to these new needs of its customers, Delhaize will launch the Payconiq payment method at the cash registers of its stores.

Today is 'Digital Payment Day', a day on which digital payments are put in the spotlight. This year again, Bancontact Payconiq Company supports this day, because the importance of digital payments is more relevant than ever. Together with some payment players and the VUB, we conducted a study on the digital payment behaviour of Belgians.

As of now, Crelan customers too can link their bank account to the Payconiq by Bancontact app. This way, even more users get access to the many benefits of mobile payments.

From this coming Saturday we’ll be able to sit out on a terrace again. The hospitality sector has made a huge effort to ensure a safe re-opening, but customers can also make their own contribution. Anyone paying for their drink can do so quickly, easily – and this is important – safely with the Payconiq by Bancontact app. Splitting the bill with friends is also easier with the new ‘share the bill’ feature in the app.
