By opening an account with BUX, as a Belgian resident, it’s considered as opening a foreign bank account because our headquarters are in The Netherlands. Your assets (money and shares) will be held at ABN AMRO Clearing bank on a what-we-call ‘depot number’. Therefore, you must declare this account to the National Bank of Belgium.
You must declare this foreign account at the latest when you submit your annual tax return.
Which account number do you have to declare?
The account number stated in the application is a global account number for all users. After depositing money there, we route your money to a unique bank account dedicated to you, called a ‘depot number’. Your depot number can be found in the tax statement we send you at the end of each month.
