How do I declare the closing of my account to the Belgian National Bank?
When you've closed your account, you need to notify the Central Point of Contact (CPC) of the National Bank of Belgium that the account is shut.
There are two ways to do so. The easiest way is online through the website of the NBB. This is the method we describe below. Alternatively, you can fill in a closure/decumulation form that you mail or e-mail. This form is available in Dutch, French and German.
Head to the NBB website on https://cappcc.nbb.be/my.policy and continue with the login.
Log in with your itsme account or eID card reader. The NBB uses CSAM, which is the main gateway to the services of the government. You'll most likely recognise this screen from when you declared your account with the NBB.
As there's no option in English, we will choose Dutch for the rest of the steps. We've also written a guide in French.
Click on "Aangeven".
Unfortunately, the tool does not automatically list the accounts you previously declared. You'll need to insert the details of your account, which is a bit cumbersome.
Rekeningnummer: Your account ID (you can find it in the app under "Account" and "Personal information")
Benaming: Stichting Noordnederlandse Beleggersgiro
Land: Nederland
Datum van sluiting van de rekening: 08/05/2024 (the date your account was closed)
Laatste belastbaar tijdperk waarin de inkomsten van het kind gevoegd werden bij die van de ouders: leave empty
Select the account you just added and click "Volgende".
Confirm, and you're all set. You've now officially closed your account to the Belgian National Bank.
You can declare the account and mention a closing date at the same time. See the instructions.
