  • How do you open and manage a social account?

    You can open and manage social accounts in BelfiusWeb. It is simple, fast and efficient!

    You will find the procedures in the “Social Accounts” manual available in BelfiusWeb.

    Some tips:

    • Make sure you have the identity documents of the people administered. If you have an electronic identity card, it is easy to read it with the card reader.
    • If the person administered is not present when you open the account(s), the documents to be signed will be available for 30 days in the menu item “To be signed / Documents / Products in demand”.
    • All the documents required for opening, managing and liquidating accounts are available under the heading “Documents/FAQ/Contacts - All your useful documents - Social Accounts”.
    • New: the account opening documents will be printed in the language of the person administered that you have configured when creating the account.
  • I have asked for an account to be opened, but it appears with a triangle in the social accounts overview. What should I do?

    Click on the triangle to know the documents the absence of which prevents the account being opened.

    A message appears indicating the missing documents.

    If the person has been identified when their identity card was read and if the opening application has been electronically signed by all parties, you can find them in the “To be signed / Documents / Products in demand” section within 30 days of the application being submitted.

    If it is a manual opening or if more than 30 days have elapsed since the electronic opening of the account in BelfiusWeb, you can retrieve the relevant documents, complete them in manually and send them by e-mail to comptes-sociaux@belfius.be. Go to “Documents/FAQ/Contacts - All your useful documents - Social Accounts - Social Assistance Account” and click on the link in “Manual procedure”. Print the following documents:

    • Client identification details,
    • Opening a social account,
