[[Image:lecteur-de-carte-belfius.png|right|thumb|A [[Belfius]] card reader]]
Most majors banks of Belgium (including [[Belfius]], [[BNP Paribas Fortis]], [[ING Group|ING]], [[KBC Bank]]) provide such a card reader. It is used for two main purposes:
* Authenticating to the bank <em>eBanking</em> website. In order to access private information like balance checking.
* Signing a transaction. For example in eCommerce (3DS) to buy goods or service on an online merchant. The merchant would ask for the bank card information, then redirect the user to the bank website where a webpage is displayed with instructions to follow to verify the transaction. Then the bank redirects the user to the merchant page with a success or a failure.
The device is equipped with an optional USB port, those two operations can be used without connecting the cable on a computer.
It was the most used method to pay online using a verification method. More recently the banks offer an alternative using an local application on the phone, using a QR-Code to scan, or using the popular {{Interlanguage link|Itsme|fr|Itsme}} app.
The device is also compatible with the [[Belgian identity card|Belgian eID card]] to access goverment services like tax declaration, medical insurance information, unemployement, etc. Those services are also generally available using Itsme.
