Bancontact Pay app services that simplify your day
The Bancontact Pay app is more than just a way to pay. It is a complete toolkit for modern life, letting you link up to five cards from different banks in one place. Easily manage your loyalty cards, daily admin, and travel needs on the go. Explore all these features and make every shopping trip or weekend excursion completely carefree.
Digitise your wallet with loyalty cards
You can finally say goodbye to a bulky wallet filled with plastic cards. Beyond linking up to 5 bank cards from different banks, you can also add all your loyalty cards in the Bancontact Pay app. Simply scan the barcode or enter the number manually to start collecting points instantly.
At checkout, you can access your digital loyalty card with a single tap or better yet: add a widget to your home screen for even faster access.
Did you know that you can also share loyalty cards with family members via your favourite messaging app? That way, the whole family can earn points together.
Manage your invoices in one place
Keeping track of household administration is effortless when your bills are delivered directly to your smartphone. By activating the Invoices feature, you can receive digital invoices from participating providers - such as schools, hospitals, or energy companies - straight into the Bancontact Pay app.
Get notified the moment a new invoice arrives. Check the details and pay instantly, without ever typing an account number or structured communication. Use the 'To Pay' and 'Paid' tabs to keep a clear overview of your expenses. Already paid an invoice another way? Simply mark it as paid in the app to keep your records up to date.
Travel with ease via De Lijn and NMBS/SNCB
Commuting and exploring Belgium has never been simpler. Within the app, you can purchase tickets for De Lijn and NMBS/SNCB without ever standing in a queue. Simply scroll down on your app home screen, select your transport provider, and buy your ticket in seconds.
Your active tickets are stored securely under the My tickets tab, ready to be shown to a conductor at any moment. This integrated approach means you can manage your entire journey - from payment to boarding - within a single, trusted interface.
Locate the nearest cash dispenser
Even in an increasingly digital world, there are moments when only cash will do. If you find yourself at a local flea market or picking up a find from Facebook Marketplace, the Cash dispenser locator in the app is there to help.
By opening the map, you can find the nearest cash dispenser in seconds. The locator provides real-time information on the availability of machines and even helps you find terminals that dispense specific notes, or those that offer full accessibility for wheelchair users.
Top up your Ping.ping account on the go
For students and staff at participating institutions like UHasselt, PXL and even some hospitals, managing your campus payments is effortless. You can link your Ping.ping account directly to the Bancontact Pay app to check your balance or top up your card instantly.
Whether you need to pay for a meal, a coffee from a vending machine, or printing services on campus or at work, you can ensure your funds are ready whenever you need them, without having to visit a physical top-up station.
Safe and secure services
Every extra service within the app is built on the same foundation of security that you trust for your financial transactions. The Bancontact Pay app ensures that your personal data and travel details are always handled with the highest level of protection.
- When you purchase a ticket for NMBS/SNCB or De Lijn, the transaction is processed through secure, encrypted channels. Your tickets are digitally signed to prevent fraud and are linked directly to your verified app profile.
- Your loyalty card information is stored locally on your device and is only shared with the merchant when you choose to display the barcode. Bancontact does not track your individual shopping habits via these cards.
- The cash dispenser map is often updated with the latest info on available cash points. This provides a reliable and safe way to find cash whenever and wherever you need cash.
