WiseGuyReports published new report, titled “Payments in Belgium”

Summary

"Payments in Belgium 2017: What Consumers Want", report examines the consumer payments market in Belgium, considering payment cards, online payments, P2P payments, and newer payment technologies such as mobile wallets and contactless. The report also examines the main regulatory players overseeing the market.

The payment card market in Belgium is well-developed, with penetration of 2.0 cards per inhabitant. Improved payment infrastructure, a strong banked population, a gradual shift from cash to card-based transactions, and the expansion of retail and e-commerce markets have supported this growth. Belgian consumers are very comfortable with established payment instruments, with domestic payment method Bancontact the most commonly used card scheme in the country. The EU regulation capping interchange fees for banks operating in the EU and a cap on cash transactions by Belgium’s central bank have also helped drive electronic payments. With the increased adoption of mobile point of sale (mPOS) solutions by smaller merchants, usage of electronic payments is set to surge over the forecast period. Contactless payments remain in the developmental phase, but the launch of a contactless payment feature by Bancontact and the introduction of Android Pay in Belgium are expected to provide a much-needed boost.
