How do I declare my account to the Belgian National Bank?

Do I have to declare my account even if I haven't invested yet?

Unfortunately you do. Once your account is opened, you have to declare it to National Bank.

Declare your account

There are two ways to declare your foreign account to the Belgian National Bank:
Online
Through a paper form

The easiest way is to do it online and this is the one we'll focus on.

Declare your accounts by filling in the form available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium. If you go for the electronic route, remember that you'll either need your identity card (with chip!), your PIN code and a card reader or else access to your itsme account.
