What is a custody account?
You usually need a custody account for investing. This is an account used for keeping investments in assets like shares, bonds, savings certificates and funds safe and managing them. You get a clear statement of all your investments at least once a year. It differs from current and savings accounts in that it can only be used for investments, not everyday transactions.
Opening a custody account
Drop by your KBC Brussels branch or contact KBC Brussels Live to open a custody account. You will need your ID card to do this.
Our KBC Brussels Invest app gives you an overview of your custody account.
