The newsroom

Sophie L.
Experte en finances personnelles

Sophie L. a été conseillère crédit puis chargée de clientèle pendant huit ans en agence bancaire, avant de passer indépendante en 2021 et de s'installer à Louvain-la-Neuve. Son travail commence par les conditions tarifaires officielles des émetteurs belges, banques classiques (ING, BNP Paribas Fortis, KBC, Belfius) comme néobanques (Revolut, N26, Wise), ramenées à cinq lignes comparables : cotisation annuelle, frais de change, taux débiteur, plafonds et assurances incluses. Chaque tarif publié ici porte sa date de relevé : la grille des cotisations a été reprise poste par poste le 12 août 2026, après le passage du pack Belfius Beats Star à 5,90 € par mois en février. Quand un émetteur ne publie pas un chiffre, elle l'écrit au lieu de l'estimer.
