In line with the capital deployment policy of KBC and the strategy to optimise RWA in order to strengthen the capital ratio and support further growth, KBC has successfully completed a second significant risk transfer transaction on a 1.25 billion euros corporate loan portfolio.

KBC Group is pleased to announce the completion of a second Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) transaction. The risk transfer is achieved via the placement of credit linked notes to institutional investors, covering first loss exposure on a 1.25 billion euros portfolio originated by the corporate banking department of KBC Bank.

This transaction will lead to a risk-weighted assets saving of approximately 0.7 billion euros and as such strengthen the unfloored fully loaded CET1 ratio of KBC Group by approximately 8 basis points as of the second quarter of 2026.
