Cashless payment and POS – YZY Pay
Every payment method, one system.
YZY Pay brings together YZYflow’s cashless payment and POS for festivals, sports clubs and venues in Belgium. Your audience pays in cash, by bank card, by QR code or with an NFC wristband or card (contactless), your teams take payments in a few taps, and you follow every sale in real time.

Built for the field
The terminals run on Wi-Fi and switch automatically to 4G if the connection drops, thanks to multi-network SIM cards: sales carry on, even in the middle of a field.

Compliant with Belgian rules
Since 31 March 2024, businesses must accept cash when the customer pays on site. For events, the FPS Economy requires that the audience can obtain the event’s own payment method in cash or electronically, with clearly stated prices and fees. YZY Pay is designed for this hybrid model.
Closed loop or hybrid: which model to choose?
YZY Pay works in two models. In a closed loop, attendees pay only with a topped-up NFC medium, wristband or card. In the hybrid model, they can also pay by bank card at the bars, and the medium is mainly used to convert cash.
| Criterion | Closed loop (cashless) | Hybrid (card and cashless) |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware to rent | A complete ecosystem: readers, media and top-up kiosks | Light: reader terminals only |
| Attendee experience | Immersive: the medium makes money fade into the background | Convenient: everyone pays with their own card |
| Speed at the bar | Optimal: instant validation | Variable: depends on bank terminal processing times |
| Security | Only YZYflow terminals are recognised | Sales exposed to third-party bank terminals |
| Bank fees | Limited to top-ups | On every sale |
| Data | Analysis by spending profile | Overall sales statistics |
| Cash | Centralised at the top-up points | Centralised at the top-up points |
| Staff, volunteers, partners | Simple: free credits loaded onto NFC media | More complex without a stock of NFC media |
| Access control | Possible with all NFC media | Limited to the number of media ordered |
In both cases, cash is accepted at the top-up points, as required by the FPS Economy guidelines. We choose the model with you during preparation.

Frequently asked questions
Can my audience still pay in cash?
Yes. With YZY Pay, cash is still accepted to top up a wristband or card, and the terminals also accept bank cards and QR code payments.
Do you accept credit and debit cards without cashless?
Yes, absolutely. Our solution is fully flexible: you can accept bank cards (Visa, Mastercard) on our terminals, QR code payment, or a 100% cashless system using dedicated media (wristbands, cards).
This hybrid approach means you never lose a sale while still benefiting from the speed of contactless. As every event is unique, we configure these options with you during preparation.
Can I sell cashless pre-sales in advance?
Yes, of course! Pre-sales are cashless only: your attendees buy their credit before the event, and the amount is added to their wristband as soon as they arrive at the entrance.
It’s one of the big advantages of cashless: you have cash flow before the event, to cover the many costs that fall due upfront. And your visitors save time: no more queuing at the top-up points, their credit is already on their wristband.
How are unused balances refunded?
After the event, your audience requests a refund of their balance online. Any fees are announced in advance. In 2026, 76.15% of refunds processed with YZYflow were free of charge for the festival-goer.
What hardware does the POS need?
The YZY Pay POS runs on your own devices or on our professional hardware, which we offer for rental only: Sunmi mobile terminals and Telpo M8 and iMin M2 Max fixed POS units. Discover our hardware.
Do my teams need training?
We train your teams before the event. During the event, phone support is included from 9am to 5pm and available 24/7 as an option; our team can also be on site.
Can I use YZY Pay without the ticketing?
Yes. Each module works on its own or with the others: you start with what suits you, and add other modules when you need them.
What happens if the network goes down?
Our network has three levels of backup: if the satellite fails, fibre takes over; if a relay is cut off, its 4G router takes over; and if that is down, each device switches to its own 4G, with multi-operator SIM cards (Proximus, Orange, Base).
Sales carry on, and in the event of a power cut, the UPS units and terminal batteries take over. Discover our network.
