Main features of KBC-Safe 26
Guaranteed rate of interest
With KBC-Safe 26, you benefit from a guaranteed return. Interest accrues on your deposit from day one, right up until the maturity date of your contract. At present, the interest rate is 2.20% for contracts with an eight-year term.
Fixed term
KBC-Safe 26 is a long-term investment with a term of eight years, though this does not mean that your funds are tied up for that entire period. On the contrary, you can access your money at any time. However, you will have to pay an exit charge if you decide to withdraw your money early. If you let the investment run to maturity, you pay no exit charge at all.
Amount of your deposit
You can invest a minimum of 25.000 euros and a maximum of 5.000.000 euros (including charges) in KBC-Safe 26. No further deposits can be made during the contract term, but you can of course take out a new contract if you want to invest further.
Variable profit share
If the economic situation and KBC Insurance’s earnings allow, this income can be supplemented annually with a variable, non-guaranteed profit share.
