Currently, Swan can only open an Accountable Banking account for enterprise numbers that are officially active<\/b> in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO \/ CBE \/ BCE).<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

We recommend waiting to open your Accountable Banking account<\/b> until the active status is visible in the register. This ensures a smooth activation process.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

If your social insurance fund needs a bank account number to complete your registration, you can temporarily provide your personal bank account. Once your enterprise number becomes active, Accountable can activate your Banking account. Afterwards, you can update your bank account number in the register via www.myenterprise.be<\/a> and also on MyMinFin<\/a>, easily and free of charge. \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

How to check if your enterprise number is active \u2705<\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Go to the KBO \/ CBE \/ BCE website<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Enter your enterprise number<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Check the status in the search results:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Active<\/b> \u2192 your number is active<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Published<\/b> \u2192 your number is not yet active<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Ceased<\/b> \u2192 the enterprise has been stopped<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Checking your number this way ensures you know when Swan will be able to activate your account.<\/p>\n
