ING Belgium and Mastercard introduce 'Click to Pay', the new way to pay online in just one click

Brussels - ING Belgium partners with Mastercard to launch 'Click to Pay', a new payment solution designed to speed up and simplify online payments, allowing online shoppers to pay securely without the need to manually enter their card details.

'Click to Pay' allows online shoppers to use their payment cards without the need to manually enter their 16-digit card number or remember passwords. Once registered in 'Click to Pay', all payment information is securely centralized in a single profile, facilitating easier management of payment methods. As of today, ING customers can complete purchases with their computer or their mobile device* with a single click at any participating online retailer displaying the 'Click to Pay' logo, making the checkout faster and highly secure.

Advanced technology for a secure and effortless shopping journey

'Click to Pay' is a global solution that consolidates multiple payment cards into a single profile, compatible across all devices. Based on industry standards (EMVCo), it provides a high level of security through tokenized transactions supported by all major card networks.

As part of the initial rollout, several Belgian merchants such as MediaMarkt and Thai Café have already integrated 'Click to Pay' into their checkout pages. Thai Café implemented the solution with the support of its payment partner, Viva.com. Major merchants are implementing the solution and will join in the coming weeks and months.

Amaury Vanthournout, Head of Payments at ING Belgium: “We are proud to widen our range of payment solutions with 'Click to Pay'. Through this partnership, we underscore our commitment to continually delivering payments innovation and removing friction to make the checkout experience as simple and fast as possible.”

Henri Dewaerheijd, Country Manager Mastercard BeLux, adds, “With the launch of 'Click to Pay' in Belgium, we’re delighted to extend our partnership with ING, offering Belgians a faster, more secure way to shop online. This collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovative payment solutions that allow consumers to shop confidently.”
