Here's how it works
When you open a Rabobank Online Savings account, you will receive a Digipass to manage your account securely online. The Digipass is a small hand-held device that randomly generates an access code, which is used to log in to a Rabobank Online Savings account and validate transactions. This provides one of the safest methods of online banking available today.
By using the Digipass, access to your account is protected by two-factor authentication.
The two elements are:
- something you know: your customer number and PIN code, and
- something you have: your Digipass.
This is safer than a standard user name and/or password, where anyone who obtained this information could easily access your account.
Activate your Digipass
If you have recently received your Digipass you will need to activate your account within 90 days. You can activate your Digipass in three simple steps:
- Get an activation code. Go to the Online Savings Internet Banking page and click on 'Activate your new Digipass'. Enter your customer number, date of birth and how you want to receive your code (email, text message/SMS).
- Set up your personal PIN. Press the orange key on your Digipass and enter the code we sent. You can then enter your own five-digit PIN. Enter this twice to confirm it.
- Activate your Digipass. Follow the onscreen instructions to generate a Digipass code and complete the activation.

Replacement Digipass
If you have lost your Digipass or the Battery is low (you will get an error message - BATT#), we can replace that for you free of charge*.
The best way to get a replacement Digipass sent to you as soon as possible is to give us a call us on 0800 22 44 33 or +64 4 8192870 (between 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday). If you can't call or it’s outside our business hours, you can print and sign our Digipass Request Form then scan and email, fax or post it back to us.
* Unless you are overseas, then a delivery fee may apply.
Please note never try to change the battery yourself in a Digipass, this is a security device and will no longer work if opened.

We have tried to make the online activation and unlock process as safe as possible.
We only use the email address or mobile number we hold on file to send the code to you. To change your details you must call us and complete a security check or log in online with your Digipass.
And even if your details are incorrect and someone else receives the code, they cannot access your account without your Digipass.
The random numbers generated by the Digipass change every time. This means that the number can only be used once, within a specified time limit.
This makes the Digipass much safer than other forms of online security such as permanent passwords or access codes.
