We have brought the RaboDirect and Rabobank brands together as one, ‘Rabobank’. Click on the tabs to find out more about the changes and updates.
NOTE: The RaboDirect Mobile Banking App has been replaced by a new app, so the old app will no longer work and should be uninstalled. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to download our new Rabobank Online Savings AU Mobile Banking App. See below steps to start using our new app.
For the past decade, RaboDirect has operated as the online savings arm of Rabobank. Our research has told us that our customers love the fact that 100% of their savings are used to support Aussie farmers. To bring our savings and farming clients together in one community, we've recently changed our name from RaboDirect to Rabobank and brought our websites together. On this new single site, you’ll have easy to access online banking, product information, help and support and contact details. You’ll find your products and accounts under Rabobank Online Savings. We look forward to receiving feedback on our new website so we can continue to improve our service to you.
Founded by farmers, for farmers over 120 years ago, the Rabobank Group continues to invest in a sustainable food future for all, supporting the production of more food, using less of the world’s precious resources. Our cooperative values mean that we are accountable to only our clients and communities, not to shareholder demands like many other banks, so we can focus 100% on our mission of helping farmers grow sustainably to feed a growing world population.
As the world’s leading agribusiness bank, the Rabobank Group finances over $145bn in the food and agriculture sector globally. We also support small and micro farmers toward self-sufficiency in 22 emerging and developing countries through the Rabo Foundation.
We’ve recently made some updates to your online banking and delivered a new mobile app. With a consistent design across both, you’ll find a new layout of your account summary screen and simpler navigation to view transactions and complete transfers.

Brand / Website
We’re always striving to improve your experience with us and that means we not only listen to, but also act on, your feedback.
So when we found out just how much our RaboDirect customers love that their savings are used to support Aussie farmers, we decided to bring our savings and farming clients together in one community under the Rabobank name.
From 23rd April 2019, we have been officially known as Rabobank Online Savings.
We know that when changes occur it can be confusing, which is why we've made the transition as easy as possible by bringing our Rabobank and RaboDirect customers together under one brand, Rabobank, with a single website offering everything our clients need in the one place.
The new website was launched in May and any customers who go online to www.RaboDirect.com.au will be automatically directed to www.Rabobank.com.au
A cooperative bank founded by farmers more than a century ago, today Rabobank's sole focus remains food and agribusiness, financing $145 billion in the sector globally.
For the past decade, RaboDirect has operated as the online savings arm of Rabobank. RaboDirect customers are helping our Aussie farmers grow while they grow their own savings. That's because 100% of deposits are used to fund Australian agribusiness through Rabobank.
To put it simply, RaboDirect was rolled into the Rabobank brand. There were no actual changes to the entity where your savings are being invested, this remains Rabobank Australia Limited.
Our Sydney-based operating hours are still 8am-7pm, Monday to Friday (Sydney time).
Our contact phone number is still 1800 445 445.
Our email address has changed from info@RaboDirect.com.au to ClientServicesAU@Rabobank.com. You can also use the contact us form on our website or send us a secure message from your online banking if it's an account related inquiry.

To register for mobile banking, you’ll need your Digipass and customer number. The steps you take to register on your Mobile App are the same as logging in to online banking.
After downloading the app:
1. Choose "Register for mobile banking" 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 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 process builds the Digipass in to your app. So after you've registered, you won't need to use your Digipass with the mobile app.
If you have locked your Digipass, log into the Rabobank Online Savings online banking then select ‘Unlock Digipass’ link on the log in page and complete three simple steps to reactivate your Digipass.
You will need to enter your customer number, Date of birth and then select how you would like to receive your secure code (either via email or SMS).
Clicking ‘Send PIN’ will send the unlock code via the preferred channel and will be delivered to you within 10 minutes.
The second step is to reset your personal Digipass PIN.
To do this you will need to:
1. Press the orange key to start your Digipass.
2. Enter the unlock code received via email/SMS.
3. Enter your own and unique PIN, then enter this into your Digipass twice.
Your Digipass PIN has now been unlocked and you can complete step three of the unlocking process. Simply follow the onscreen instructions.
Rabobank's Online Savings Mobile Banking app for Australia is available on the Apple App store for Apple devices and Google play store for Android devices. Simply search for the latest version by typing in Rabobank Online Savings Mobile Banking AU" and follow the download prompts.
The great thing about the Digipass is that it can operate overseas. As long as you have the Digipass and access to the internet you can perform all your normal transactions online.
If you use an Android or Apple device, you may wish to take advantage of our Mobile App to access your funds.
Hope this helps!
If you are already overseas, you can call us on +612 8115 2558 if you have any questions or require any assistance. We’re here from 8am to 7pm Sydney-time, Monday to Friday.
Yes, you can download and register the Rabobank Online Savings Mobile App on up to six devices per account.
You’ll need your customer number and Digipass to register the first time, and the steps you take are the same as logging in to online banking.
At this stage, you can only have one subscription per device.
For now, if you have more than one Rabobank Online Savings customer number (previously RaboDirect), you may be interested in installing the App on a separate device and register your second customer number. Otherwise, you can choose to remove your current customer number and register your second customer number on your device by selecting ‘I Forgot my PIN’.
It’s important to note, this will override your replace your customer number and you’ll need your Digipass when registering.
We’re continuing to take on-board feedback regarding the Rabobank Online Savings Mobile App, as we aim to improve your mobile banking experience.
