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.

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