KBC was established in 1998 from a merger between two Belgian banks, the Kredietbank and CERA Bank, and the Belgian insurance company ABB.

It operates in its home markets of Belgium and Central and Eastern Europe, where it specialises in retail bank-insurance and asset management activities, as well as in the provision of services to businesses. The group is also active in a selection of other countries in Europe in private banking and services to businesses.
