We use statistical models to decide whether to award or refuse credits. They tell us how likely it is that someone who is granted a credit will be able to repay it. As a Credit Risk Modeller in our team, you build new models and improve existing ones.


You make an important contribution to our way of working; you help us stop risks from sneaking into our credit portfolio. Together, we make sure we satisfy all legal capital requirements.


The team you join is particularly diverse. You have male and female colleagues from various nationalities spread across offices in Brussels, Ghent, Leuven and Prague. You work with junior members and experienced colleagues. Diversity is a great strength in our team.


Triggered? Are you as enthusiastic as us about models and validation? Join the team and do what you do best. There are small and large projects waiting for you—you’ll have an impact on the modelling community of the whole KBC Group.

“What makes being a credit risk modeller at KBC such an interesting job is the fact that it is so diverse in many aspects: you get to know the data and systems of KBC as well as the different types of models and portfolios that exist within the bank, you are in contact with a lot of stakeholders and you will be working in a very diverse and international team. By means of working in different projects – either simultaneously or consecutively – you get to interact more closely with different team members, which stimulates learning from one another.”
