You can do so using a Wi-Fi connection or via your mobile phone network.

We don’t currently charge for the app or use of our mobile banking service and don't plan to either. We may charge for new additional features in the future, but we’ll always ask first whether you wish to use and pay for them. That way, you’ll never be faced with extra charges all of a sudden. If you use KBC Mobile over a Wi-Fi connection or mobile phone network, additional charges may apply.

If you don’t use Wi-Fi, you’ll need a data plan. You will not need ‘Unlimited use’, as large amounts of data are never sent.

Call us immediately any time on 016 432 000  (+32 16 432 000 from abroad) (emergency numbers).

Apps that compress data on the 3G network to reduce data traffic may prevent KBC Mobile from working properly. Our systems are unable to use compressed data, so you’ll be shown an error message.
