Kate is your digital assistant in KBC Mobile who’s always on hand to help. You can ask Kate questions about your everyday banking, your insurance or other services that KBC offers.
You can find Kate in KBC Mobile using the blue icon at the top right of your screen.
As standard, you can ask Kate straightforward questions about products, services and features that KBC offers through KBC Mobile. Simply type your question or, in some cases, ask it out loud. You can, for instance, ask Kate to transfer money for you, find a payment or show you your vehicle’s certificate of insurance.
But Kate can do more than just listen and do things for you. If you ask her for your AssurCard number, for example, Kate’ll also ask you if she can help you with a hospitalisation claim.
If you opt for proactive services, you’ll receive no-obligation suggestions you might find interesting. For instance, Kate will send you a message when you’re able to save money on your insurance or your energy bill.
Kate gets smarter every day and constantly learns from the questions you ask. If Kate doesn’t know the answer, she’ll put you through to a colleague at KBC Live. Next time, Kate’ll probably know the answer to your question herself.
We take your privacy very seriously. You can see how we handle your data in our Data Protection Statement.
Sometimes you can communicate with Kate by talking to her. When you can, a microphone will appear next to the text input bar. Tap the microphone, ask your question and Kate will listen and talk to you.
To use Kate, you need to open the KBC Mobile app. Signing for transactions (like transferring money) requires you to re-enter your PIN or fingerprint. Once you leave KBC Mobile, Kate is no longer available. That all means you can use Kate in complete safety and security.
Using our Kate service doesn’t cost a thing.
All your KBC products and services are conveniently listed under ‘My KBC’, where you’ll also find your contacts, messages and documents. If you want to make an appointment, feel free to ask Kate, your digital assistant in KBC Mobile.
You can use the Kate chat feature in KBC Mobile to help you save time and money. You can access Kate by tapping the Kate icon in the top right corner.
Digital customers will no longer receive any documents from us by post.

- You can receive and reply to messages from your branch or KBC Live
- You can receive and reply to messages from, and send messages to, your insurance agent, relationship manager or dedicated contact
You can delete your messages manually, but they will also be deleted automatically after two years.

We use Doccle to store documents. It retains your documents for at least seven years.
You don’t have to create a Doccle account and you can view all your documents right from our Mobile and Touch apps
You can view your documents using KBC Mobile, KBC Touch or Doccle.
> Watch this demo to see how you can view your documents in KBC Mobile.
Doccle is a digital mailbox that lets you receive, organise and store documents from a growing list of organisations. You can view your documents using KBC Mobile or KBC Touch without needing a Doccle account.
Creating an account may be useful though, as it lets you share and keep documents from all your suppliers in one place. If you have a Doccle account, you can jump to it in a single tap right from KBC Mobile.
Doccle lets you get banking and insurance documents from KBC, including:
- Certificates for your tax return
- Credit card billing statements
- Payment requests for insurance premiums
- Home loan documents
If you use Doccle, you can get your billing statement there.
If you pick up your registered digital document using itsme® or your eID, you can download and view it or retrieve it later from your documents under ‘My KBC’.
Kate, your relationship manager, branch, KBC Live and insurance agent contact details (where applicable).
This is our team of experts who are on hand to answer any urgent questions you may have. If you have a relationship manager, they’re your first point of contact. If you don’t have one or you can’t reach them, our KBC Live experts will help you as much as possible when it suits you best.
Just ask Kate to help you schedule an appointment or to change or cancel one you’ve already made.
Yes, you can.
- Go to ‘My KBC’
- Scroll down to the ‘Contacts’ section and tap ‘All contacts’
- Tap your appointment
- Tap the three dots icon and select ‘Add to calendar’
Log in to KBC Mobile and either ask Kate or go to ‘My KBC’ > ‘Your contacts’ > ‘All contacts’. You will find a list there of all your appointments. Tap the appointment you are looking for. You will find all the details of your appointment here, along with a button to start the conversation in MS Teams.
A notification, also known as a push notification, is a personal message that you receive on your device, even if you’re not logged in to KBC Mobile.
Your device's settings let you switch notifications on or off for each app you have installed. If you switch on notifications for KBC Mobile, you won’t miss any important messages.
Our app lets you manage certain notifications and whether you receive them or not. You can manage your notifications under ‘Settings’.
- Notifications about payments: ‘Start > Your photo/cogwheel icon at the top left of your screen > Push notifications’
- Extra convenience: ‘Start > Your photo/cogwheel icon at the top left of your screen > Security and privacy > Privacy > Extra convenience’
- Commercial notifications: ‘Start > Your photo/cogwheel icon at the top left of your screen > Security and privacy > Privacy > Commercial settings > How would you like to receive commercial messages?’
If you’re not logged in to KBC Mobile, a pop-up will appear on your phone’s home screen. If you are logged in, the notification will be shown at the top of the screen in the app.
On iOS and Windows phones, a badge (a circle containing a number) also appears in the KBC Mobile app to show that there is a new notification.
If you’ve turned on KBC Mobile notifications in your smartphone/tablet settings, we will send you a notification when we have urgent information for you (for instance, if we suspect your credit card is being used fraudulently, when there is a message from your branch, if a document needs to be signed, and so on).
You will also receive notifications if you have selected ‘Extra convenience’. A few examples:
- A notification telling you when it makes sense to switch from fully comprehensive to semi-comprehensive insurance
- A notification asking you whether you want to file a damage claim after a storm in your area
- A notification informing you that you’re almost out of Pluxee service vouchers (if you use the additional ‘Pluxee’ service)
You can also receive commercial messages as push notifications. To change your settings for receiving commercial messages, follow these steps:
- Tap your photo/cogwheel icon at the top left of your start screen
- Scroll to ‘Security and privacy’
- Tap ‘Privacy’ and then ‘Commercial settings’
- Scroll down and change your settings for receiving commercial messages
The information displayed is limited and gives more of an idea of what the notification contains. To see more information, just tap the notification.
When you add an account with another bank, you allow KBC to access its details for a limited time, say, 90 days. Once that has passed, you need to renew your consent so we can access your account details again. If you don’t, you won’t get notified of incoming payments any more.
Tap the bell-shaped icon at the top right. If you don’t see this icon displayed, you have no outstanding actions.
This is where we alert you to things you need to do, like pay bills, clear your account or sign documents.
Simply tap an action to do what it asks. You’ll be guided through the various steps to do this.
No. Each action tells you where you can do it (KBC Mobile, KBC Touch or KBC Invest).
