This statistic shows the total number of digital payment transactions in Belgium from 2014 to 2016 (in billions). In 2016, Belgium processed a total of approximately 2 billion electronic payment transactions, an increase of approximately ten percent when compared to the total of 2015.
Compared to most European countries, Belgium is deemed to lag behind when it comes to online banking and electronic or digital payments. An important reason for this is that banking is seen as an important part of Belgian culture with a relative high number of bank offices in the country. In 2015, for example, the total number of bank offices established in Belgium reached approximately 4,519 in the Flemish region. Despite that, more and more people seem to start using card payments. The most popular payment method in Belgium is Bancontact.
