Protection & convenience with Secure Code

We are always looking at ways we can improve our customer experience. By replacing the current physical security token with a Secure Code generator that is built into the Rabobank Online Savings app we are providing strong security with increased convenience for our customers.  

Rabobank is committed to sustainability. This change assists in lowering our carbon footprint by eliminating the requirement to produce and post the physical security token. 

We have listened to feedback about the physical security token.

To access the mobile app, you will require access to mobile data or Wi-Fi (internet access).

Rabobank Online Savings has introduced new security features designed to enhance your online banking experience and provide strong protection against unauthorised access to your online account.

A new version of the Rabobank Online Savings app is available in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The updated version allows you to register for Secure Code, and has the ability to generate a code to access Internet Banking instead of using your physical security token.

From 26 August, we encourage you to make the switch to the Secure Code generator at your convenience.

• Where the Rabobank Online Savings app is compatible with your device, you will be able to download the app from the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
• To take advantage of the latest security updates, your device should always be kept up to date.
• There are a range of reasons why you may be unable to download and use the Rabobank Online Savings app. Some of the reasons may be:
  • Your device cannot access the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or Apple App Store (for iOS devices).
  • Your device’s operating system (Android or iOS) version is not supported
  • Your device has been modified through “jailbreaking” or “rooting”*
  • Your device has other apps installed that are preventing a secure connection to Rabobank (some VPN or monitoring apps may impact the security of connections).
• If you are unable to download and use the Rabobank Online Savings app, you could try:
  • Ensuring that your phone can access the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or Apple App Store (for iOS devices)
  • Checking for updates (to ensure it is on the latest version)
  • Ensuring that your phone is not “jailbroken” or “rooted”*
  • Ensuring that other services impacting secure connections (VPN services or other monitoring apps) are turned off.

*Jailbreaking or rooting means removing software restrictions that are intentionally put in place by the device manufacturer.

This timeout occurs if you haven’t set up a passcode on your iOS device. From early December, we will remove the need to set a passcode on your device to transition to Secure Code. In the meantime, to resolve this issue, please ensure that a passcode is set up on your iOS device before attempting to register for Secure Code. If you are unable to set the passcode on your device, you may continue to bank with us by contacting our Client Services team.

Steps to Set Up a Passcode on iOS:

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device.

2. Tap on Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode, depending on your device.

3. Select Turn Passcode On and follow the instructions to set up a passcode.

4. Once your passcode is set, retry the registration process for Secure Code in the Rabobank Online Savings Mobile App.

If you continue to experience issues, please contact our Client Services team for further assistance.
