AlternativesFive questions
At a glance
Is it a bank?
Yes — Discontinued app. Deposits sat at Belfius, a Belgian bank (NBB / FSMA (via Belfius)). Still read the entity on the statement.
If it fails?
Was Belgian deposit guarantee via Belfius, not a separate Banx scheme. Belfius is not on this desk as its own file.
Salary?
Not listed. An IBAN or sort code is not automatically a salary account.
Open from abroad?
Residency and KYC are gated. An App Store listing is not proof you can onboard.
Monthly fee
Was app-priced — product gone
Account number
IBAN is part of the pitch — issuing country not stored.

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.
What it is
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.
Best for: Historical — Belgian telecom-bank JV case study.
Last checked 2026-08-28. Not advice.
Closed 2024-12
Proximus and Belfius ended the Banx app in December 2024 after a joint review. Clients were offered a migration to Belfius.
What it does well
- +Deposits were at a real Belgian bank
- +Clean wind-down path to Belfius

Banx lists a physical card and a virtual card on mastercard, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. Confirm the live product in the app — a card is not a current account.
