Banks play an important role in the fight against money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and corruption. Anti-money laundering legislation requires KBC to carry out checks to prevent the bank from (unwittingly) supporting illegal activities.
To enable us to perform these checks, we ask customers to provide us with certain personal details. Given that they may change over time, we also regularly ask that these details be checked and either confirmed or updated where necessary. This is very important, because if we’re unable to verify these details in time, we have to block the relevant customer’s banking and insurance products of the customer concerned.

KBC will only use this information internally and in the context of the legal purpose for which it is intended, namely verification, investigations and giving advice in relation to money laundering and fraud prevention.
