KBC Bank Ireland has been awarded Best Online Banking Experience at the bonkers.ie Awards. KBC beat off stiff competition at the ceremony in Dublin’s Mansion House.

KBC Bank Ireland’s Director of Innovation, Eddie Dillon, said: “We are delighted to receive this award for best online banking experience which acknowledges KBC’s market leading on-boarding app. Our revolutionary app allows customers to open a current account in five easy steps in five minutes and have instant access to a debit card and digital wallets. It’s never been easier to bank with us, 1 in 5 KBC Extra Current Accounts are now opened using the on-boarding app, and we’re excited for future developments to come.

“Our innovation hub in Dublin is the digital frontrunner for the KBC Group and we are continually developing innovative products that are first to market in response to our customer’s needs. In the past year, we were the first bank in Ireland to offer customers a suite of digital wallets with the launch of Apple Pay, Android Pay and Fitbit Pay.”
