My customers pay in cash, can I then deposit this money into my account?

If you run a business and regularly receive cash payments from your customers, you’ll definitely be familiar with the situation of having quite a lot of cash in your cash register or on your premises at the end of the day or week. What's the best thing to do with all this cash? Well, the easy answer is to deposit all those euro coins and banknotes into your business account.

Here's how to pay cash into your business account

You can pay cash into your business account as often as you like simply by depositing it in a KBC Brussels-, KBC-, CBC- deposit machine or in a Bancontact CASH point. 

What should you do with your banknotes?

An ATM accepts a maximum of 120 banknotes per deposit, but you can make several deposits one after the other. Your money is instantly available on your business account. You can also use security bags. Just bring them in during branch opening hours or deposit them in the night safe-deposit box (not available everywhere). Ask about our terms and conditions at your KBC Brussels branch.

What should you do with your coins?

If you want to deposit your coins into your business account, you should bring them to your KBC Brussels branch during opening hours. You can hand over any amount in cash to a KBC Brussels branch staff member. The maximum weight for coins when bringing them in is 10 kg. It's best, therefore, to hold on to your coins until you've collected several kilos, so you don't have to pop into a branch every day.
If you're interested in what this exactly entails, feel free to drop by your branch. We'll be delighted to help.
