I originally registered as not being a KBC customer, but have since become one. How do I access the customer version?
You don’t need to reinstall the app or register again. Just register as a customer in the app. Tap the profile icon/cogwheel icon at the top left or ‘KBC Banking & Insurance’ at the bottom right.
What is Touch ID (iOS), Face ID or Fingerprint (Android)?
Touch ID is the official name for the fingerprint identity sensor on the latest iPhones and iPads. On Android phones it’s called Fingerprint. It’s either built into the home button on your phone, is on the screen itself (in-display sensor) or embedded on the side or back of the device and lets you log in and sign transactions without having to use your PIN.
Face ID is the name for the facial recognition feature on the iPhone X. You can use it to unlock your iPhone X without having to enter your passcode.
Can several users work on the same device?
No, we treat a phone or tablet as a personal device and therefore do not allow it to be used by more than one user.
Don't forget that if someone logs in as an active user on a smartphone or tablet using the registration and activation procedures, they become the only active user on that device. This means that the previous user will no longer be able to log in (unless they complete the procedures again).
How do I start using KBC Mobile if I’m not a customer?
- Go to the app store for your device, install KBC Mobile and open the app
- Answer all the questions
- Open an account with us right away or start using our app without one
You can use KBC Mobile’s additional services without having to be a customer. All you need for that is a smartphone linked to a mobile number.
Can I start using the app right away once I’ve installed it?
Yes, you can.
If you’re a customer
- Complete the registration and activation procedures using your debit card and card reader, the itsme® app or your personal QR code (you can get this code at your KBC branch or you can generate it yourself if you’re already registered in KBC Mobile on another device; if you’re under 18 and one of your parents uses KBC Mobile, they can also generate a personal QR code for you with KBC Mobile)
- Choose a personal five-digit PIN
- Set up Touch ID, Face ID or Fingerprint if desired
- Register using your mobile number
- Use some of our additional services including paying by Bancontact
If you’d like to enjoy the same benefits as our customers, you can open an account with us in no time using our app.
Can my minor child also use the app?
Yes, they can. You can set up KBC Mobile for them so that they can quickly install the app without needing a debit card and card reader.
Your child will then be able to:
- Check their balance, make secure payments and withdraw cash using their phone or tablet
- Buy a bus or train ticket or rent a shared bike
- Take out insurance and start investing once they turn 18
You can:
- Check their balance and payments
- Set their daily transfer limits
Why am I getting a ‘Debit card has been blocked for online use’ message?
If you get a message notifying you that your card has been blocked for online use, it means you’ve entered the wrong PIN three times in a row when logging in. KBC Mobile lets you lift a block on online banking or contact your KBC branch. You can still use your card to pay in shops or withdraw cash at ATMs.
