How do I reset my Bancontact Pay-app?
Tap the profile icon in the top right-hand corner of the home screen. Go to “Settings” and tap “Reset app”. You will be asked to confirm your request on the next screen.
Please note: resetting your app will remove it from your device. However, your cards will remain linked to your Bancontact Pay account. You will also continue to receive the monthly newsletter, unless you changed the settings in the app before deleting it.
We recommend resetting your app when switching to a different smartphone. This ensures you can continue to make mobile payments with your Bancontact Pay app, even on your new smartphone.
