Extended warranty cover

Statutory warranty on your appliance expired? Benefit from two years' extra cover on appliances purchased with your Extended warranty cover

What is extended warranty?

When you buy a new fridge, laptop computer or television, it comes with a statutory warranty. This warranty provides for the repair or replacement of your appliance or device if it gets lost or damaged, for two years after purchase. But what if your fridge suddenly packs up after those two years? That's when an extended warranty policy offers comfort. On top of the statutory two years, this insurance gives a further two years' warranty on your newly purchased appliance or device.

Who is insured for what?

With a KBC Brussels Silver Credit Card or KBC Brussels Gold Credit Card you can benefit from an extended warranty on

  • Small and large household appliances (fridge, washing machine, iron, vacuum cleaner, etc.)
  • Audio equipment and televisions (TV, DVD player, GPS devices, CD player, etc.)
  • DIY equipment (drill, pressure washer, electric sander, etc.)

If you have a KBC Brussels Platinum Credit Card, then you also benefit from an extended warranty policy on computer products

  • Laptop computer
  • PC
  • Tablet
  • Computer screen
  • Keyboard

If you want to find out whether your most recent purchase is covered by the extended warranty insurance, check this list of insured goods. If your appliance or device is not on the list, it isn't covered.

The guarantee also applies to purchases outside Belgium.

It is insured, but what are the conditions?

What exactly is reimbursed?

If your appliance or device is damaged and covered by the extended warranty insurance, then the repair costs will be reimbursed.
