Yes, you can download and register the Rabobank Online Savings Mobile App on as many devices as you need to.

You’ll need your customer number and Digipass to register the first time, and the steps are the same as logging in to internet banking.

To register for mobile banking, you’ll need your Digipass and customer number. You can watch this short, step by step video or follow the steps below to register. Hint: The Digipass steps are the same as logging in to internet banking.

After downloading the app:

1. Choose ’Register’ from the main menu
2. Read and acknowledge your agreement with the Terms and Conditions; if you’d like to see a full version of these conditions, they’re also available on the Rabobank website.
3. Enter your Rabobank Online Savings customer number in the first field
4. Use your Digipass to generate an authorisation code (just like logging in) and enter it in the next field.

Steps to generate your Digipass code are:

1. Press the orange key to start your Digipass.
2. Enter your 5 digit Digipass PIN.
3. Your Digipass will display 'APPLI'.
4. Press 1 to generate your 6 - 8 digit code, enter this code in the box and tap 'Continue'
5. Choose and confirm a five digit PIN to use for mobile banking. When you choose your PIN, just make sure it's not 5 consecutive or repeating numbers. This last step activates the Digipass in your app. So after you've registered, you won't need to use your Digipass device with the mobile app except if re-installing or installing on a new device.

Once you've registered for mobile banking, use your five-digit Mobile Banking PIN to log in and manage your savings wherever you are.

If you're having trouble entering or remembering your PIN, you have five attempts before your access is blocked.

Logging out happens automatically when:

• You leave the app (by pressing the home button or switching to another app)
• Your phone goes to sleep mode
• You lock your phone screen
• No interactions have been made after 3 minutes
• If you accept a phone call while using the app

If you've entered your PIN incorrectly five times and blocked your access to mobile banking, you can register again using your Digipass and customer number. To do this, use the "I forgot my PIN" option on the login screen and follow the steps to register (just like you did the first time).

If you've forgotten your mobile banking PIN, you can reset your registration from the app log in screen by tapping ‘I forgot my PIN’. You'll be prompted to reset your registration using your customer number and Digipass (just like when you first registered for mobile banking).

It is not compulsory for you to provide us with your Australian Tax File Number however, if you choose not to*, we may be obliged by law to withhold tax on any interest paid or credited to you at the highest marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy and pay this to the Australian Taxation Office on your behalf to satisfy your expected tax liability.

* and we also do not have a valid tax exemption, or an ABN if applicable, from you.

To provide us with your Tax File Number, please contact us on 1800 445 445 between 6am and 7pm (Sydney time), Monday to Friday, or alternatively you can send us a secure message with the details by logging in to your Rabobank Online Savings account and clicking the blue envelope on the top right hand side of your screen.

To make a claim on all interest withheld from you, simply lodge it with your tax returns, or if you are in a position where you are unable to do so, please consult the Australian Tax Office or your Tax Agent.

If you have any questions, please call our friendly team and we’ll be more than happy to assist.
