How can you be sure that the e-mail was sent by KBC?
1. Check the sender’s domain name
Check to see whether the sender's e-mail address ends in ‘kbc.be’.
The domain name is the 2 last parts after the @ in an e-mail address.
The ‘kbc.be’ domain name can also be preceded by a word followed by a dot,
such as @xxxxxxxx.kbc.be
Some examples:
@bankenverzekering.kbc.be
@info.kbc.be
@mail.kbc.be
@verz.kbc.be
...
Other valid domain names include @mail-kbc.be, @kbcmail.be and @kbc.com
2. Verify links in e-mails
Treat e-mails asking you to open links with suspicion. Never open links without checking them first.
Hover your cursor over the link without clicking and a pop-up will appear showing you where the link would take you if you opened it.
If you're using a tablet or smartphone, hold your finger on the link to see this pop-up.
Links are secure if the two last parts of the section between the forward slashes are one of our official domain names like kbc.be, kbcmail.be and mail-kbc.be
https://www.kbc.be/...
http://content.kbcmail.be/...
