2. Choose the type of transfer you want to make: to another account or to one of your own
3. Tap another account to make a cross-border transfer and select the account to be debited
4. Enter the beneficiary’s details or – for a foreign account – tap the flag next to the account number
5. Enter the amount, execution date and reference, then tap ‘Continue’
6. Check the details of your transfer are correct and tap ‘Confirm’ to sign it using your PIN
7. The transfer will be scheduled for a later date or be carried out if you are making immediate payment

KBC Brussels Touch:

1. Log in to KBC Brussels Touch on your PC or tablet
2. Tap or click ‘Transfer’ in the menu at the top right of the screen
3. Choose between a ‘SEPA Credit Transfer’ and an ‘International transfer’ (a domestic transfer falls under ‘SEPA Credit Transfer’)

5. Hit ‘Sign’ at the bottom
6. Enter your PIN
7. Your transfer will be made

You can only transfer money or set up a standing order to transfer money from your savings account to a savings account held at KBC Brussels in the name of:
- the same account holder(s)
- the (married or legally cohabiting) partner, child(children) and/or parent(s) of (all) the account holder(s)
- a combination of the above
- a grandchild of (all) the account holder(s)
Transferring money to the accounts of others, or to accounts held at another bank, is not possible. To do that, you must first transfer the relevant amount to your own current account and then transfer it from there to the other person's account.

Unfortunately, we are unable to cancel transfers to a KBC Brussels account number or instant credit transfers once they've been made. We are also unable to cancel any payments you have made on a website. In such cases, you are advised to contact the beneficiary of the transfer yourself.

KBC Brussels Touch gives you access to your account statements for three months, during which time you can view, download, save and/or print them. Even if you’ve already read them, they still remain available there for three months. You don’t get notified when new statements become available.

You can set how much you can spend or withdraw with your debit card per day or per week. See how:

1. Go to ‘Payments’ in KBC Brussels Touch and tap or click ‘... More’ at the top right
2. Select ‘Debit cards’
3. Select the debit card whose limits you want to change
4. Open the ‘Manage’ tab
5. Tap or click ‘Available amount for cash withdrawals in euro’ and/or ‘You can still transfer’
6. Set your limits
7. Hit ‘Save’
8. Sign using your PIN

^{If you make several purchases one after the other at a payment terminal that hasn’t got a number keypad (vending machines or car park ticket machines) and they add up to 50 euros or more, you then have to pay using your PIN or enter your PIN at an ATM before you can make another PIN-less payment.}

While the Belgian federal public health authorities say that cash payments don’t pose a risk in that cash does not transmit the virus, they do encourage paying electronically to respect social distancing rules.

You can still use the ATMs in the self-service lobbies at our branches, though bear in mind that they’re closed at night. Use our branch finder to see our nearby ATMs and opening hours.

Some of our ATMs let you make cash deposits. If this feature isn’t available, get in touch with your KBC Brussels branch (by phone or e-mail), your usual contact or KBC Brussels Live for more help.

You don’t have to make an appointment for this. You can still use the ATMs in the self-service lobbies at our branches, though bear in mind that they’re closed at night. Use our branch finder to see our nearby ATMs and opening hours.

Given the present situation, you can’t just go into a branch and hand over your transfer forms at the counter. If you want to hand over paper transfer forms or indeed collect new forms you’ve ordered, you’ll need to make an appointment.

No, you can’t at the moment. We’re hearing this question more and more though, so we and our partners are looking into what can be done in the future. The current limits continue to apply for the time being.

If you notice a payment on your statement that you or a family member definitely did not make or payment has been made using your lost or stolen credit card, submit a complaint to Worldline at www.mijnkaart.be (Dutch) or www.macarte.be (French). You have a maximum of three months to do this after your statement date.

If you wish to dispute an amount that has been charged for a purchase you didn't make, if you've received a damaged item and the online store won't send a replacement, or you bought something online but it never arrived, you can submit a complaint up to 120 days after the date of purchase. However, you must be able to show that you have tried to find a solution with the merchant first.

Find out more by calling Worldline on + 32 2 205 85 85.
 

You don’t need to do anything. When compiling the monthly billing statement, Worldline will refund this amount to your current account.

If you'd rather not wait until then, you can transfer this amount to your current account yourself using KBC Brussels Touch. Be sure to only transfer the amount above the limit, otherwise you'll have to pay charges and interest.

It is now no longer possible to apply for these relief measures.

If you're having difficulty making your monthly loan repayments, make an appointment with your KBC Brussels branch (by phone or e-mail) or get in touch with your usual contact or KBC Brussels Live to see how we can help.

If you’re having financial problems difficulties in repaying your loans with us, contact your KBC Brussels branch (by phone or e-mail), your usual contact or KBC Brussels Live to see how we can help.

You can only spread your repayments if you have a credit card linked to a credit facility (KBC Brussels Flex Budget).

If you’re admitted to hospital with a coronavirus infection, you’re covered by your hospitalisation insurance policy. Admission to a Belgian hospital is always covered by the policy.

If you become ill or are injured abroad, KBC Brussels will pay the costs of your medical care, hospital accommodation expenses and any transport costs necessary for the purpose of arranging care. These costs will be covered up to the sum insured specified in the policy (once the cover provided by the health insurance fund has been exhausted).

KBC Brussels will take care of your repatriation to Belgium, if your medical condition so requires.

When, how and where you are taken will be judged exclusively in accordance with this medical condition and in consultation with the doctor in attendance.

For all epidemics, including the coronavirus, KBC Brussels will always need to follow the rules and regulations imposed by the local authorities (like access to cities or hospitals) and comply with the sanitary and hygiene standards and regulations issued by the competent bodies (including quarantine). Government measures in other countries may delay us in helping you.

Learn more about our assistance insurance.

Cover for hospitalisation abroad depends on the general conditions of your policy. Under the current conditions, (a limited part of) the cost is covered. Even if you have travelled to a high-risk area against Foreign Office advice, we’ll still help pay for hospitalisation due to a coronavirus infection as specified in the general conditions.

Please bear in mind that our services may be disrupted.
The exceptional circumstances of the global Covid-19 pandemic are also having an impact on our services in Belgium and abroad. We are doing our utmost to help customers as quickly as possible if their vehicle breaks down, provided all the related measures in place are respected.

Nevertheless, technical and/or medical assistance may still be delayed, made impossible or even refused by the local authorities and our partners. If you breakdown and a VAB patrol member comes to assist you, keep the following in mind:

Wear a face covering as soon as our patrol member arrives and keep it on during the entire time that assistance is provided. Respect the 1.5 metre distancing rule as far as is practicably possible.

Limit the number of people who come into contact with the patrol member as much as possible.

Our travel cancellation insurance policies don’t cover cancelled flight costs. You should contact the travel agency, tour operator or airline to ask them whether you can get a refund or change or postpone your trip.

The European regulations impose specific obligations on airlines based in the European Union. See the Federal Public Service for Economic Affairs website (in Dutch or French) to learn more about your rights when an airline cancels your flights.

Our travel cancellation insurance policies don’t cover cancelled trip expenses. You should contact the travel agency, tour operator or transport operator to ask them whether you can get a refund or change or postpone your trip.

There are statutory protections in place for package holidays. See the Federal Public Service for Economic Affairs website (in Dutch or French) to learn more about your rights when a travel organisation cancels your trip.

No, the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country that you're planning to travel to from Belgium, a travel warning issued by the Belgian authorities (general travel ban in Belgium) or a ban on entering the country you're going to due to the coronavirus is not a valid reason for cancelling your trip.

We recommend that you contact your travel agency, tour operator or transport operator to enquire about a possible cancellation. If you organised your trip yourself, you must contact the various service providers (like the airline and hotel) to check the options available. Accommodation costs are subject to the hotel’s general conditions. Some hotels have very lenient cancellation policies, allowing you to cancel your reservation free of charge up to the last minute, while others will charge you for the first night in the event of a no-show. If you received a generous discount because you booked your trip very early, you generally won’t be able to cancel it for any reason.

Current market conditions are definitely having an impact on your investments. How much depends on your investments and whether they’re capital-protected, as many of our investment products are.

You can stop monthly investments. Whether that’s a good idea depends on your personal situation and for how long you think you’ll need the money you usually invest every month. The current slump in share prices also provides opportunities for the longer term, as you get more units of your investment for your money. Be sure to discuss this with one of our wealth management experts. Just get in touch with your usual contact or KBC Brussels Live for more help with this.

A pension savings fund invests in shares and bonds, both of which have a daily market price that fluctuates according to market conditions.

At KBC Brussels, we have two types of pension savings funds. One has more shares than bonds, while the other has more bonds than shares.

There are two ways you can save for your pension. You can take out guaranteed-interest life insurance contract which matures when you turn 65. The fixed interest rate you get with this type of product means you won’t lose money on it.

Another way to save for retirement is through a pension savings fund. A pension savings fund consists of shares and bonds, both of which have a daily market price that fluctuates according to market conditions.

Although current market conditions are causing pension savings funds to lose value, they don’t have a maturity date. That means you can let your investment run after you turn 65, even if you’re no longer allowed to make deposits. That way, you can cash it in later under better market conditions.

Current market conditions have clearly had an impact on your retirement savings. You could switch to a pension savings fund with fewer units if you wish, but that would have financial consequences when the markets start picking up again.

You can only switch to pension savings funds that offer capital protection after paying the final tax on your pension savings, which is usually when you turn 60.

If you want to see whether it’s worthwhile changing something now, get in touch with your usual contact or KBC Brussels Live.

Current market conditions have clearly already had an impact on your retirement savings. If you withdraw your investment now, it may have tax consequences. You should only do it after paying the final tax on your pension savings, which is usually when you turn 60.

Pension savings funds don’t have a maturity date, so you can leave your money in them until such time as the markets start recovering.

It may indeed be a good idea to do that now through a pension savings fund. The stock and bond markets have reacted negatively to the coronavirus crisis. This has caused the unit price of pension savings funds, which invest in a mix of shares and bonds, to drop substantially since the start of this year. That means you’ll get a lot more units for your money now than you would have earlier this year.

It’s difficult to say whether now is the time to do this without knowing how the financial markets will perform between now and the end of 2024. In any case, to get full tax relief you must ensure that your most tax-efficient amount of either 1,020 euros (30% tax break) or 1,310 euros (25% tax break) has been paid in by the end of the year.

If you’d like personal advice, just get in touch with your usual contact or KBC Brussels Live.

If you’d like to pay the most tax-efficient amount into your pension savings plan, simply:

1. Open KBC Brussels Mobile
2. Tap ‘‫‫‫‫‫‫‫‫‫ֹ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬Investments’ at the bottom‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
3. Go to ‘Tax-advantaged savings and investments’
4. Select your pension savings account
5. Press the blue button at the bottom right
6. Choose the maximum amount eligible for tax relief (you won’t be able to do this if you’ve already opted for the highest amount)
7. Tap ‘Continue’
8. Hit ‘Sign’

If you had already set up your monthly standing order, the blue button may be temporarily unavailable and your order is being processed. Once that’s been done, the blue button will appear again.
