Why invest your spare change?
Turn your small change into a big investment that – in time – could make you more than saving. It doesn't matter whether you're new to investing or an old hand, anyone can do it. If you’re just starting to invest, you can begin with small sums of money to give you a basic idea of what investing entails. If you’ve already got an investment, investing your spare change is a neat way to supplement your existing portfolio.
What exactly is spare change investing?
You make purchases and payments from your current account every day. If you decide to invest your change, we’ll round up what you spend to the nearest euro. Once your roundups reach 10 euros, we put them into an investment plan for you, meaning you invest without it impacting your wallet or lifestyle to any noticeable extent.
How does spare change investing work?
Suppose you pay 3.51 euros at your local bakery. We’ll take 4 euros off your account and add 49 cents to your investment plan. We’ll do this for all your everyday spending, unless you’d end up going overdrawn on your account. Something you may be interested to hear is that the average KBC customer rounds up about 90 cents every day. That results in a monthly investment of 20 euros!
