Pimp your transfers with SurprisePay

Our Mobile app’s new SurprisePay feature lets you personalise transfers when sending money as a gift to someone, like when they just became a parent, celebrated their birthday or got married.

This unique, free-of-charge service also lets you send gift-wrapped transfers to people who don’t bank with us.

Make a SurprisePay transfer in October this year and you could win back the full amount. Learn more at www.kbc.be/en/surprisepay.

Pay bills in just 30 seconds with SmartPaste

This innovative service was developed by our Slovakian subsidiary, ČSOB, whose customers have been using it successfully for some time. We’re now delighted to launch it for our customers in Belgium.

It lets you pay bills you receive by e-mail (like utilities bills) by simply copying the details into our Mobile app. There’s no need to switch apps or type details manually, making it quick and easy to use in full security and with no risk of mistakes. Bill details are copied directly into a transfer form in the app, removing the need to unnecessarily print off bills to ensure you copy the details correctly.

What’s more, it’s all done in a flash so you don’t forget to pay in time either.

Get alerted when money is put onto your KBC Plus Account

Our Mobile app now lets you stay updated on incomings on your KBC Plus Account, with pop-up alerts that tell you when payments appear on your KBC Plus Account (even when you don’t have the app open). Alerts show you how much you’ve received and who paid it to you, particularly handy if you’re waiting on a payment.

How it works

SurprisePay

• Open a transfer in our Mobile app

• Opt for SurprisePay

• Choose a theme for your transfer and personalise it with a message and photo

• Send your SurprisePay transfer and the app tells the recipient that you sent them money as a gift, either through our Mobile app if they have it or using another messaging service like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or e-mail

SmartPaste

• Share bills sent to you as PDF files with our Mobile app to pay them

• Let SmartPaste scan QR codes in bills to complete transfers and pay them in our Mobile app, then simply sign to authorise payment

• Have SmartPaste guide you (if there’s no QR code) in selecting the relevant payment details from the bill and copying them to a transfer form to pay the bill
