1. Open a young person’s account for your teenager
Before you can open a young person’s account for your child, you first have to add their details to your family situation in KBC Mobile or KBC Touch. After doing so, you can then open the account.
2. Set up KBC Mobile for your teenager
You can activate KBC Mobile for them in two steps. First, set up everything on your own smartphone and generate a QR code. Then download the KBC Mobile app on your child's smartphone and scan the QR code.
3. Receiving the free power bank for your teenager
When you open the young person’s account, Kate will send you an invitation in KBC Mobile to pick up the power bank at a KBC branch of your choice. If you open the account in a branch, you’ll receive it right away.
