Questions about ‘Check who’s there’ (fraud checker)

If someone asks you over the phone or on your doorstep to share your bank details or to transfer money, you can check whether you’re actually talking to someone from KBC and not a scammer.

This is important because thousands of people fall victim to (telephone) fraud every year. What’s more, tools such as Deepfake and AI are making it harder and harder to unmask scammers. That's where ‘Check who’s there’ comes in. This feature allows you to quickly and easily check whether you can trust the person you’re speaking to.
 

You can find the ‘Check who’s there’ button in three places:
• on the KBC Mobile login screen
• when you navigate to money transfers
• by asking Kate
 

We check whether the person you’re talking to at the time is a KBC employee. This could be when you receive a phone call or during an appointment.
