LA HULPE, BELGIUM - 17 September 2026, 7:00 a.m. CEST - Banqup Group SA (Euronext: BANQ) (Banqup, Company), a European fintech provider that simplifies financial flows through an innovative secured platform for e-invoicing, e-payment, e-reporting and e-trust solutions with built-in compliance at its core, today announced an operational and growth update on its footprint in the French market, timed with the 81st Congress of the Expert-Comptable Media Association (ECMA). Following years of regulatory delays across France, the official launch of the national e-invoicing mandate has triggered a significant growth in the number of users, proving the long-term strategic value of Banqup's partner-led expansion model.
Partner-led blueprint delivers unprecedented scale
Banqup serves as the core technology provider behind jefacture.com, the accredited platform (Plateforme Agréée / PA) created by ECMA-the digital arm established by the French National Board of Chartered Accountants (CNOEC).
Rather than building costly direct sales networks, Banqup leveraged ECMA's trusted distribution channel to embed its financial operating platform directly into the accounting ecosystem. Today, this channel strategy accounts for:
- Almost 175,000 registered business clients, actively using the platform.
- Nearly 4,900 chartered accounting firms, directing their client networks onto jefacture.com.
This partner-led Go-To-Market (GTM) playbook serves as the primary template Banqup is replicating across other key European growth markets facing mandatory e-invoicing transitions. Also, the onboarded network is an opportunity for upsell towards other products such as the payment module.
Management Commentary
"We have consistently communicated to our shareholders that the French market represented a major growth driver for Banqup," said Koen De Brabander, CEO of Banqup Group "While regulatory postponements delayed the initial timeline, the current adoption metrics prove that our patience and strategic execution is paying off. jefacture.com is now operating as a primary engine of automated financial workflows in France, validating our technology stack and our ability to monetize complex compliance shifts."
