What is Bancontact?

Bancontact is a widely used payment method in Belgium that allows customers to pay online directly from their bank account. It is the standard payment solution for Belgian consumers and is supported by all major banks in the country.

Payments are authorized in real time through the customer’s banking environment or the Bancontact app. Once authorized, the transaction is immediately confirmed and cannot be reversed, resulting in guaranteed funds and reduced payment risk for merchants.

By offering Bancontact through Checky Pro, merchants can accept online payments from Belgian customers using their preferred local payment method. The payment flow is fully integrated into the checkout and supports real-time authorization, localized presentation, and immediate confirmation.

Customers complete payments directly via their bank or the Bancontact app, while transactions are processed within the same unified payment infrastructure used for other supported payment methods.
