Desk verdict

Graveyard. Banx was a Proximus idea on Belfius rails, launched October 2021, killed December 2024. Clients were pointed at Belfius. The Belgian deposit scheme followed Belfius, not the Banx icon. Do not list it as live.

Three years, not enough customers, a saturated Belgian app market. The 30 September 2024 Proximus/Belfius note is the obituary. This desk will not invent a successorSlug for a Belfius product we do not file.

Banx lists Discontinued app. Deposits sat at Belfius, a Belgian bank under NBB / FSMA (via Belfius) in Belgium. On safeguarding we currently write: Was Belgian deposit guarantee via Belfius, not a separate Banx scheme. Belfius is not on this desk as its own file.. Holder / issuer line: Belfius Bank SA/NV (historic). An AML programme is claimed. Local bank details (IBAN / sort code / equivalent) are part of the pitch. We list 1 live markets on the product. As we score the sticker: monthly Was app-priced — product gone; FX —; ATM —. This desk would open it for: Historical — Belgian telecom-bank JV case study.

What it does well: Deposits were at a real Belgian bank; Clean wind-down path to Belfius. What to watch: Closed; Never found a market; Belfius is not in this catalog as a successor product. Desk score 6.2 / 10 (safety 7.4, fees 6.5, features 6.0, app 6.8). Last verified 2026-08-28. Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium; founded 2021. None of this is advice — it is a file so you can read the entity before the card colour.

Best for: Historical — Belgian telecom-bank JV case study.
