Capital Investment Bank Payment Services was formed in 2005. Leveraging our status as a bank and the heritage and assurance this provides, combined with a culture for innovation, we were at the forefront of the development of the prepaid card industry issuing the first prepaid VISA and MasterCard in Belgium.
Today Payment Services has developed well beyond a traditional, plastic card and, whilst we remain the second largest prepaid MasterCard issuer in Europe, we continue to be at the cutting edge of payments development. Our recent innovations include NFC contactless programmes, socially responsible models which challenge the traditional banking format and the inclusion of additional payment schemes to further develop the market in Belgium and Europe.
