What documents do I need when applying to open a Bancontact Pro account?

When you apply for a Bancontact Pro account, we are legally obligated to carry out certain checks. This helps prevent fraud, money laundering and financing of terrorism. This is why we request certain documents and information. 

In this table, you can find the necessary documents and additional information required for each type of enterprise.   

Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO):  

In most cases, we need a UBO of the company.  

A UBO is the ultimate beneficiary of a company, i.e. persons who directly or indirectly own shares or are directors. We only need the details of UBOs who own 25% or more of the company's shares.  

Those within your company who have access to the UBO register can download it here.

 Identity check (CDD check) 

 We are obligated to identify and verify a company's legal representatives. 

You can find more information about CDD on the FPS Economy website.

All personal data and documents are processed and stored securely, in accordance with Belgian and European regulations.
