KBC Bank Embargo Policy
KBC Bank must comply with financial and trade embargoes issued by the United Nations (made enforceable in Belgium), the European Union and by the Belgian legislator, but also embargoes issued by the USA (OFAC).
Read here the KBC Bank Embargo Policy.
Information on the Conflicts of Interest Policy
The European Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) obliges investment undertakings to draw up a written policy for managing their conflicts of interest when providing investment services. The Royal Decree of 21 February 2014 on the code of conduct and rules for managing conflicts of interest imposes the same requirement on insurance companies. The following publications contain more information on how KBC Bank and KBC Insurance have drawn up their policy.
Anti-Money Laundering
Banks play an important role in the fight against money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and corruption. Anti-money laundering legislation requires KBC to carry out checks to prevent the bank from (unwittingly) supporting illegal activities.
To enable us to perform these checks, we ask customers to provide us with certain personal details. Given that they may change over time, we also regularly ask that these details be checked and either confirmed or updated where necessary. This is very important, because if we’re unable to verify these details in time, we have to block the relevant customer’s banking and insurance products of the customer concerned.
KBC will only use this information internally and in the context of the legal purpose for which it is intended, namely verification, investigations and giving advice in relation to money laundering and fraud prevention.
All prominent public functions at national level, at the level of International Organisations and at the level of the European Union Institutions and Bodies can be found in the following document published by the European Union: Read the publication
More information on the fight against money laundering can also be found on the Febelfin website.
