Proposition de loi modifiant le Code de droit économique, instaurant un réel système de portabilité des numéros IBAN des comptes bancaires.

This Belgian private member's bill would amend the Code of Economic Law to introduce a genuine system allowing people to keep their IBAN bank account number when switching banks. At present, changing bank often means a new account number, which can complicate payments, direct debits and salary transfers. The proposal aims to make switching accounts simpler and less disruptive. Bank customers in Belgium, particularly those considering changing bank, would be most directly affected. Banks and payment service providers operating in Belgium may also face new obligations to support number portability. Based on metadata only; the full legislative text was not reviewed.
