The services offered by Keytrade Bank are more varied and complex than many other financially related websites and this is reflected in the website itself. Selecting “About Keytrade” at the very top of the page is perhaps safer initially than picking “Who are we?” a little lower and to the left. The latter selection initiates a video presentation in French with English subtitles and musical accompaniment.
In brief: Belgium's first online investment site VMS-Keytrade began in 1998. In 2002, VMS-Keytrade became Keytrade Bank and acquired its banking status by taking over RealBank.
Keytrade Bank offers its clients investment fund services, portfolio services that allow clients to customize fund savings plans, as well as an online trading platform for Forex - Futures - CFD’s. The aforementioned trading platform can be tested free for up to 20 days. Forex services include extended hours trading and access to financial news and charts. Those two information streams are considered crucial for successful trading in the volatile Forex market.
Keytrade Bank also keeps its investment and trading customers informed via newsletters and warning and notification services that could be email or SMS based. Support services also include permanent assistance to commercial service clients by way of telephone and Skype.
Keytrade Bank's banking services include current accounts, savings accounts and term accounts. A full range of insurance services is also available from Keytrade Bank.
The company has rates for all of its services clearly posted under a separate tab labeled “Prices”. Keytrade Bank has also invested a considerable amount of its resources in keeping its potential and existing customers informed about all aspects of its operations. Featured on the Keytrade Bank site is access to many training and informational videos, a frequently asked questions section and a Document Center that makes all the relevant forms available in PDF file format in English, Dutch and French.
