UCB Belgium

Researchdreef 60 ·1070 Anderlecht, Belgium· 107 yrs active
Sector: Activiteiten van holdings (64210)
Conclusion Checked

UCB Belgium is a financial institution; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The company has been active since 1919 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. No processed annual-account figures are available; this conclusion rests on registry and State Gazette data only.

Based on State Gazette and CBE data.

Bankruptcy probability (12 mo) Checked model v1 · free

This is a financial institution (bank, insurer or financial holding). Our bankruptcy model is trained on ordinary trading and manufacturing companies; a bank balance sheet falls outside that scope. We therefore show no bankruptcy probability rather than a misleading figure.

Risk Assessment rule-based

Low risk
Trust signals 2 signals
Long-established
Founded in 1919, 107 years in business.
No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.
Administrative Flags 0 events
No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.
