Euromoney Award for Excellence 2026 Belgium: KBC Best Bank for SMEs

A recognition we owe to you, our customers


Euromoney – the renowned British media company – assesses financial institutions on their performance, innovative capabilities and added value for customers.
KBC Commercial Banking received the 2026 Award for Excellence in the category ‘Best Bank for SMEs in Belgium’. What makes this accolade even more special is that it is the first time Euromoney has awarded this gong in Belgium.

From the jury’s report

"KBC embraced a strategy of pairing a data-driven backbone with relationship managers who stay close to business owners. Central to its 2025 strategy was the launch of the Start it Fund, an early-stage investment vehicle. KBC also accelerated its digital build-out for smaller firms through its Business Dashboard platform, and through Kate - its AI-driven digital assistant - creating tools that enable frontline employees to assist SMEs throughout their journey."

Moving forward together each and every day!

SMEs have been part of KBC’s DNA for decades. Our bond with entrepreneurs dates back to our very beginnings, which has enabled us to grow along with the Belgian business community and to remain fully aware at all times of the realities facing local businesses. Today, that connection is reflected in an approach that combines the personal touch of our relationship managers with robust digital solutions, sector expertise and tailored advice. Regardless of whether it’s about starting a business, growing it, innovating, becoming more sustainable or expanding internationally, KBC Commercial Banking supports entrepreneurs at every stage of their growth, providing the right expertise and solutions to turn their ambitions into success stories.
