Product Details & Size Guide
Banksys was formed in 1989 as Bancontact and Mister cash ATM and point-of-sale networks were combined in Belgium. The resulting bank-owned payment processor became part of the country's payment-services history, later developing Proton and attracting attention over market dominance. This embroidered dad cap hat brings those business milestones into an everyday look for collectors interested in Belgian companies, shared payment systems, and the changes that led to Banksys' merger at the end of 2006.
Banksys N.V., also known as Banksys SA, was a Belgian payment processor owned by Belgian banks. Its history began in 1989, when the ATM and point-of-sale networks of Bancontact and Mister cash were merged to form the company. This origin places Banksys within the development of shared payment infrastructure in Belgium, bringing cash-machine services and point-of-sale payments together under one organization. Banksys also developed Proton, a system later spun off into Proton World International. The company's position in the Belgian payment-services market drew attention from the Belgian antitrust authority, which noted that Banksys was too dominant in that market. In 2003, the Union of Self-Employed Entrepreneurs stated that the issue had not been fixed. Banksys' corporate history reached a major transition at the end of 2006, when it was merged with Atos Worldline together with the Bank Card Company. These formation, product-development, competition, and merger milestones define the documented story of Banksys.
