Top FAQs


We've put together the top FAQs for customers:

My Current Account is now closed but there was a balance in the account. How do I withdraw my funds?

Please fill in the Residual Balance Reclaim Form (140 kb, pdf) and return by email to residualbalance@kbc.ie and we will arrange for your funds to be returned. You can also return the form by post to KBC Bank Ireland plc, Sandwith Street, Dublin 2, D02 X489.

Can I request a new reclaim form?

Yes you will find a new copy of the form here. Alternatively, you can send in a signed handwritten instruction with the same information. Note: this instruction must clearly state that it relates to a RESIDUAL BALANCE RECLAIM and must contain all the information that is required on the standard form.

How do I return my reclaim form?

Please fill in the attached reclaim form and return by email to residualbalance@kbc.ie and we will arrange for your funds to be returned. You can also return the form by post to KBC Bank Ireland plc, Sandwith Street, Dublin 2, D02 X489.

How long will it take to receive my funds?

We will endeavour to process your Reclaim Request Form as soon as possible. However please be aware that in certain circumstances we may be required to verify some information with you once the Reclaim form is received, which may add time onto the process. In certain scenarios, we may need to call you back. For example: If you have nominated an account to which you haven’t transferred funds (from your KBC Current Account) to previously then we will call you back to confirm the details prior to sending the funds.

Can I have my Residual balance Reclaim funds split and sent to different accounts?

Residual balance is repaid In full in one amount to one IBAN only.

Overdrafts


What's happening? 

As KBC Current Accounts have not moved to Bank of Ireland, they have been closed. Personal Overdrafts will need to be brought to zero and your overdraft facility will be cancelled when your Current Account Closes.

Before your overdraft is cancelled you will need to clear the overdraft and bring your account balance to zero. If you have an existing overdraft this will not automatically transfer to your new provider and you will have to make a new application with your new provider to have an overdraft on your new account. Please note that the overdraft terms and conditions may be different and you may not be approved for the same overdraft limit with a new provider.

When deciding your new Current Account provider it may be useful to discuss this with them in advance.

Transfer of Overdrafts to Cabot

If you have an outstanding Overdraft or Unauthorised Overdraft Balance on your account at a date in the future it may transfer to Cabot.

If you have received a communication to advise that your overdraft or unauthorised Debit Balance will transfer to Cabot you can find more information here.
