Hi, I was able to open an account with them (personal). Working well with the APP. They provide a card as well.

Isn't it an EMI which is located in Belgium ?

Cool, care to share any details- You just gave them an address outside BE?
What did they ask for?

For not resident it is necessary a regular ID card and the proof that you are coming to Belgium.

You can use Kbc.ie as well completly online , normal KYC docs

Sounds like someone is BS people here again. They don't open for foreigners so you are either from Belgium or you had the magic touch.

Cool find. Keep them coming thu&¤#. Thanks to OP also. I use Keytrade bank in Belgium and some others but Belgium banks seem too Benelux focused in everything they do. Will look into Ireland branch however. More banks yum yum.....

Does Apple Pay and Google Pay really work with KBC as that will be reason I want an account?

Hi, just checked the KBC APP . Shows a Add to Apple Wallet Button , nothing for Google Pay

To open a current account in kbc.ie must be resident in the EU.

Awesome, will check it out. They open for non-BE residents?
By the way possible to send you a PM?

Yes I have both keytrade Lux and keytrade BE. They don't give a card though to non-BE. However do check your situation as they change compliance all the time. I recently had citibank Dubai close my account as they no longer accept non-residents. I'm sure these banks globally are all preparing for the end game.

PM me no problem.
