Belgium Bancontact outage risk during Worldline maintenance window

Worldline will perform scheduled maintenance on its Belgian electronic payment system overnight Sunday to Monday, 1-5 a.m., potentially causing Bancontact failures in stores, online, and at gas stations. Maestro, Mastercard, Visa, and ATM withdrawals remain unaffected. This is a routine intervention, not an incident, but could disrupt payments for a few hours.
