About

Bancontact is a Belgian payment method that enables real-time online bank transfers and card payments.

It offers redirection to the customer's banking interface or QR code scanning, supports contactless card and mobile payments, provides merchants with real-time confirmation and lower transaction fees than traditional cards, allows refunds for up to 365 days, and carries no chargeback risk.

Wero is a European GDPR-compliant mobile payment system operating in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, designed for instant account-based payments across borders.

It is backed by a group of major European banks and built on SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst). It is based on iDEAL, a Dutch online bank transfer method, and is scheduled to fully replace iDEAL for all merchants by the end of 2027.
