Our spending limits for young people aged between 10 and 17 differ from those applying to adults. If you’re under 18, your parents manage how much you can spend. Over-18s are subject to our standard KBC Brussels Debit Card limits, which you can easily change yourself using KBC Brussels Touch or KBC Brussels Mobile.

Standard limit for under-18s

  • Daily limit for cash withdrawals: 120 euros
  • Weekly limit for cash withdrawals: 900 euros
  • Weekly limit for payments: 900 euros

Maximum limit for under-18s

  • Daily limit for cash withdrawals: 500 euros
  • Weekly limit for cash withdrawals: 5 000 euros
  • Weekly limit for payments: 2 500 euros

If you’re over 18 and already earning an income, you can opt for a young person's account that includes a credit card. Get yourself the whole package for a great special price. Bear in mind that your application has to be approved first.

If you’re over 18, you can go temporarily overdrawn on your young person’s account if you need to by taking out a KBC Brussels Budget Facility.

Kredietkaart voor studenten

As a student, you don't have a fixed income and are generally financially dependent on your parents. This means you are not eligible for a credit card, because you need a financial buffer to be able to defer payment for your purchases. And even if you have part-time work to earn some money on the side, you'll still usually be refused a credit card as a student. Fortunately, there is an alternative in the form of the prepaid card, which is just as convenient, safe and secure as a traditional credit card.
