Pros and cons
Pros
- APR of 14.5% to 16.5% is below the 20.97% site median for the cards listed here.
- The lender has operated since 1988 and is supervised in Belgium by the FSMA, the Financial Services and Markets Authority.
- Payouts from the facility to your bank account, an app for balance and statements, and legal zeroing of the outstanding balance all sit in Contactless payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Cons
- Currency conversion costs 2.5% on this card, against 0% at Wise and 0% on the Chime Card.
- Rewards on spending are none, so purchases earn nothing back.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, with no phone line offered.
Who it suits
- Belgian adults who want to spread spending over a credit facility and settle it early through legal zeroing.
- Anyone who wants to move money from the facility to a bank account and track the balance in the Buy Way Mobile app.
- Spenders who mostly stay in euros and can keep foreign purchases to a minimum.
Who should look elsewhere
- Wise, for regular foreign spending, because its conversion fee is 0% against 2.5% here.
- The Varo Believe Secured Credit Card, for building a credit record at an APR of 0% rather than borrowing at 14.5% to 16.5%.
- The Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card), for a secured facility with a conversion fee of 0%.

Frequently asked questions
What rate do I pay to borrow on Buyway BE?+
Borrowing costs an APR of 14.5% to 16.5% on this credit card, lower than the 20.97% site median. Currency conversion is separate at 2.5%, so a trip abroad adds to the cost of the balance.
What does spending in another currency cost?+
Currency conversion costs 2.5% on the Buyway BE card, against a site median at 1% and a heavier mark for some credit cards at 2.5%. Wise charges 0% and the Chime Card charges 0%, so foreign spend costs less elsewhere.
Who runs the card and is it regulated?+
The card comes from Buy Way Personal Finance SA, a Belgian lender founded in 1988. It is supervised by the FSMA, the Financial Services and Markets Authority in Belgium, and its FSMA licence is 019542a.
How does the credit facility work day to day?+
Payments can move from the facility to your bank account, and legal zeroing of the outstanding balance allows an early repayment without a charge. The Buy Way Mobile app shows the available balance, confirms online purchases and keeps your statements, so the account is easy to follow.
Does spending on the card earn anything?+
The rewards type on Buyway BE is none, so purchases earn no cashback, points or miles. The card is built for borrowing rather than rewarding spending, and the value comes from the rate you pay on the balance plus the legal zeroing option.
How do I reach customer service?+
Support runs on chat and help centre, so questions go through live chat or a help centre rather than a phone line. Help centres are the most common channel across the cards listed here, at 75.6%, which leaves a written record of any answer.
Where can I use the card?+
Buyway BE is a credit card, so you spend against a facility and repay it rather than drawing down a prepaid balance. Everyday use covers contactless payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ATM cash withdrawals, and the BE base keeps the product aimed at Belgian spending.
Is insurance included with the card?+
Optional insurance through Cardif Full Cover is one of the Contactless payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay listed for the card, covering certain risks linked to the credit facility. It is bought on top rather than included, so the balance you borrow and the rate on it stay the first thing to weigh.
