My take on this is that it's an effort to reinforce consumer apathy - admitedly most people on here will shop around and make an effort to have their money work for them but having lodged funds online and then having to make a greater effort to withdraw them again later, they are hoping people won't bother...I think that no having the possibility to do online withdrawals is the worst defect they have (they keep promising that online withdrawal-facility will be implemented but the big question is still "when?").
Silvera,
KBC are slow in displaying the transfers online but when they do show up on your account they will have the correct date.
You sent the money on a Sunday so nothing got done until today anyway.
So, chances are the money was sent today by your bank and will arrive in KBC tommorrow (30/04/2013). KBC usually take 2-4 days before they show the transaction online but when they do it will be correctly dated 30/04/2013. It's just their online banking that is slow
If you transferred the money directly to your KBC account (990270) it will show up a bit quicker than if you transferred it through KBC's Ulster Bank clearing account (985010).

Might work in your favour as well though in a strange sort of way! If the cash is "hard" to access then raiding the piggybank for frivolous expenditure is less likely. Might be better for those with less financial discipline!
They explained that I can only view online, but not perform any withdrawals. They are working on the online system at the minute, but they are dependent on their IT in Belgium sorting it out. They hope to have it sorted by end Q3( I believe) to coincide with current account offering that they will have.
