From Liege waffle to Godiva chocolate, the desserts in Belgium are known to all the world. In addition, the “Paradise of Desserts” also presents you with the bronze statue of urinating child, a national hero, Tintin, a wise and brave cartoon figure, as well as magnificent and grand Palace of Brussels, Bruges known as “the most beautiful scenery city in Europe”, and Antwerp, a fashionable and avant-garde port city. Why not take your UnionPay card (card number starting with 62) to explore the typical Belgium？
POS acceptance

UnionPay merchants in Belgium are mainly diamond outlets and jewelry stores in Antwerp, Ghent, Brussels, Brugge, and Maasmechelen discount village. These merchants display signage. Sincethat some of the merchants have yet to put up the UnionPay signage, cardholders may show their UnionPay cards upon the till and inquire about UnionPay acceptance.

When using co-branded cards, you are advised to choose UnionPay as the routing option to be benefited from the special offers and services provided by UnionPay.

Note：Some UnionPay card acceptors or acquirers route co-branded cards to corresponding card shcem according to the card BIN, which means co-branded cards transactions aren't routed to UnionPay without selection by cardholders and merchant cashiers. Please refer to the transaction results for the information about transaction routing.
