The newsroom

Sophie Laurent
Experte en finances personnelles

Sophie Laurent a passé huit ans en agence bancaire, d'abord conseillère crédit puis chargée de clientèle, avant de devenir indépendante en 2021 et de s'installer à Louvain-la-Neuve. Elle compare les cartes de crédit belges, des banques classiques (ING, BNP Paribas Fortis, KBC, Belfius) aux néobanques (Revolut, N26, Wise), en partant des conditions tarifaires officielles : cotisation annuelle, frais de change, taux débiteur, plafonds et assurances incluses. Sa règle : une carte « gratuite » ne l'est jamais vraiment, le coût se cache dans les paiements à l'étranger et le crédit renouvelable. Elle a vu trop de clients signer pour un cashback qui ne couvrait même pas la cotisation, et elle le dit.
