Payment testing notes for Belgium
- Currency: EUR (euro). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card authentication: PSD2 strong customer authentication (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/389, in effect since 14 September 2019) applies to customer-initiated online card payments in the EEA; cards meet it through 3-D Secure (always required on the Bancontact card flow), with exemptions for some low-risk and merchant-initiated payments. Source
- Card country: Geo checks match the issuing country of the BIN (BE) against IP and address. Generate one batch with a local BIN and one with a foreign BIN to cover both outcomes.
- Debit vs credit: At 38% debit ranges, Belgium leans towards credit: 41 of the other 62 countries on this site have a higher debit share. If your checkout treats debit differently (fees, installments, recurring billing), test a BIN of each type from the table above.
- Billing details: postcodes in Belgium are 4 digits; the first digit generally gives the province (e.g. 1000); phone numbers use +32 — Mobile numbers are 10 digits starting 045-049 (04xx xx xx xx).
- Gateways usually treat Bancontact as a separate payment method, so test it apart from the Visa and Mastercard flow.
Paying online in Belgium: local methods and gateways
Cards are only part of the picture. These payment methods are popular in Belgium and usually sit next to the card form at checkout:
- Bancontact (card or app) (bank transfer) — Belgium's most common online payment: the shopper pays with a Bancontact card or the app linked to a Belgian bank account (EUR). Source
- Payconiq by Bancontact (QR) — Bancontact Company's merged mobile payment app (Bancontact and Payconiq apps combined in 2019), supported by 20 Belgian banks. Source
- Klarna (BNPL) — Pay in full or pay later; Belgium is a supported customer country. Source
- SEPA Direct Debit (domiciliëring) (bank transfer) — Debit from a euro IBAN under a signed mandate, common for subscriptions. Source

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate a Belgium credit card number for testing?
Yes: the default prefix is 530784, a Mastercard credit range of Europay Belgium S.C.R.L. The generator adds random digits and a Luhn check digit, plus an expiry date and CVV. They are test data only: no account sits behind them.
Which card networks are most common in Belgium?
By BIN count in our data: Visa 22%, American Express 22%, Mastercard 21%, Maestro 15%. Local networks: Maestro/Bancontact (65 BINs). Debit ranges make up 38% and credit ranges 62%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from Belgium start with?
Examples from different banks: 408490 (BNP Paribas Fortis); 404462 (Crelan); 445481 (Beobank NV/SA); 424093 (Belfius Bank SA). See the Belgium BIN list for every bank.
Which currency should I use to test payments from Belgium?
EUR (euro). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). Shoppers with cards from Belgium can still be charged in other currencies; their bank converts the amount.
Are these Belgium card numbers real? Can I pay with them?
They do not. A generated number only has the right shape; Europay Belgium S.C.R.L. or any other issuer has never heard of it, so authorization always fails. Real alternatives: a virtual card from a bank in Belgium. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
How do people pay online in Belgium besides cards?
Bancontact (card or app): Belgium's most common online payment: the shopper pays with a Bancontact card or the app linked to a Belgian bank account (EUR). Payconiq by Bancontact: Bancontact Company's merged mobile payment app (Bancontact and Payconiq apps combined in 2019), supported by 20 Belgian banks. Klarna: Pay in full or pay later; Belgium is a supported customer country.
