BeaNet (abbreviation of Betaalautomaten Netwerk, Dutch for payment terminal network) was a Dutch system and organization for electronic payments, which was founded in 1988.

Adoption

In March 1990, Esso included the possibility to pay with BeaNet. In January 1992, Albert Heijn was the first large supermarket in the Netherlands that adopted the usage of BeaNet.

Criticism

Yvonne van Rooy, the staatssecretaris of economic affairs in the Third Lubbers cabinet, wanted to get rid of the monopolistic position of BeaNet in 1992.

Merger

In 1993, a merger was announced between BeaNet, Bankgirocentrale and Eurocard Nederland. In 1994, they formed Interpay.
