A KEYPLAN with a third-party beneficiary is a KEYPLAN you can create on your own account but with another person as beneficiary.

What is the difference with a KEYPLAN created on the name of a child?

A KEYPLAN with a third-party beneficiary is a KEYPLAN that you create for a specific beneficiary. You manage the KEYPLAN yourself and retain control. You decide when the beneficiary will benefit from the KEYPLAN. You can adapt the parameters of the KEYPLAN as you wish, until 4 weeks before the transfer date. The beneficiary isn't aware that a KEYPLAN has been created for him/her until you inform him/her. If you want to open a KEYPLAN in the name of your child, the account must be opened by the legal representative (the parents). Upon turning 18, the child can take control of the KEYPLAN.

What does the beneficiary need to do to receive the KEYPLAN?

The beneficiary has three possibilities:

• Transfer the money to an existing Keytrade Bank account
• Open an account at Keytrade Bank and transfer the money to this new account
• Transfer the money to another bank

How much time will it take to transfer the KEYPLAN?

Depending on the option the beneficiary choses, the transfer can take place in 1 week, max 1 month after the transfer date of the KEYPLAN with a third-party beneficiary. In case of death, this period can be longer as Keytrade Bank needs to respect all legal conditions.

How does the beneficiary needs to stipulate his identity?

The beneficiary needs to fill in and sign the form that he receives from the account holder. In this form he needs to indicate his personal data and the option he chooses to receive the KEYPLAN. This form should be send to Keytrade Bank (via postal mail, e-mail) at least one week before the transfer date of the KEYPLAN with a third-party beneficiary.

Can a beneficiary refuse the KEYPLAN ?

Yes. If the beneficiary refuses the KEYPLAN, the account holder remains the owner of the KEYPLAN.

Upon turning 18, the beneficiary can take control of the amount. - the beneficiary is an adult: the amount of the KEYPLAN is given to the beneficiary
