Email and text message scams typically involve scammers trying to steal your personal information. This is known as ‘phishing’. Scammers will often send you a link to a fake website which looks genuine. Once on the website, the scammers will ask you to enter account details, which they can then steal.

We can transfer the funds for you but, as this is a manual process, it is reserved solely for emergencies.

If you have an emergency and need an urgent manual transfer, call our friendly contact centre team on 0800 22 44 33 (+64 4 819 2870) so that we can identify you and arrange the transfer. 

If you transfer funds into your account from Rabobank Online Savings, a clearance period of three business days will apply. This is because the funds are direct debited from your Nominated Account and we need to ensure that the transaction will not be dishonoured before we make the funds available to you.

You will be earning interest but you won't be able to transfer the funds until the funds have cleared. If you want to set up a term deposit, you can do this online and the term deposit will start when the funds have cleared.

You must set your browser to accept cookies in order to be able to perform transactions with Rabobank Online Savings. Session cookies only stay on your computer for the duration of your session.

This could be caused by one of the following:

• An incompatible device – It is best to use a computer (laptop or PC) as some phones and tablets are not compatible. 
• An insecure internet connection – Avoid public internet connections such as those in libraries, workplaces and Wi-Fi hot spots. 
• • Any internet provider that has their IP address change frequently could cause your secure internet banking session to end.

If you are not using any of the above, adding Rabobank as a trusted site and deleting your browsing history and cookies can resolve this issue.

Your account can’t be accessed without the Customer Number, Digipass and 5-digit PIN. Providing you keep this information safe, it is unlikely anyone could log into your account and withdraw money. 

With the Secure Code, your account can't be accessed without the Customer Number, Password, access to your Smart Device and a 6-Digit PIN.

But even if someone was able to get hold of your details and log into your account, funds can only be transferred back to the nominated bank account in your name.

Fake emails and websites can look very realistic but there are a few tell-tales signs to look out for:

• Requests for confidential information. We will never ask you to provide your customer number, account number or PIN code via email. 
• An unusual website URL - Look out for a “padlock” icon next to the URL to ensure you are in an encrypted secure session. If you receive a message along the lines of 'Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.’ this usually means something’s not right. 
• Grammar and spelling errors - These can be deliberate (to get around spam filters) but are usually unintentional errors made by the fraudsters. 
• Suspicious logos and links - If you hover your mouse over links in the email, they may not point to your bank's website but to some other third party website you don’t recognise.

If you receive any emails that appear to be from Rabobank Online Savings but seem suspicious, please feel free to call us on 0800 22 44 33 or email ClientServicesNZ@rabobank.com. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Call us on 0800 22 44 33 or +64 4 8192870 (between 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday) so we can block the Digipass and send a replacement. 

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.

Here are some security precautions anyone can adopt to increase their own level of online security.

1. Protect your Digipass security information

• Don’t write your password or PIN code down. 
• If you have to write it down, don’t store it with the Digipass and customer number. 
• Keep your Digipass and customer number separate. 
• Do not store your customer number, password or PIN code near your computer. 
• Notify us if your Digipass or Phone that holds your Secure Code Generator  is lost or stolen. 
• Call us immediately if you are asked to return your Digipass or send it to another address. 

2. Never send account information via regular email

• Use our secure e-mail function if you need to include account information in your message.
• We will NEVER send you an email requesting your personal access details. If you ever receive such an email please notify us as soon as possible.

3. Use updated Anti-Virus Software

Protect your computer from viruses by installing and regularly updating firewall and anti-virus software. 

4. Scan your computer for Spyware regularly

Spyware and adware are programs that look in on your web viewing activity and potentially relay information to a disreputable source. Perform an internet search for "spyware" or "adware" to find free spyware removal programs. Just make sure that your removal program is not blocking or removing wanted items and, if it is, consider turning it off for some websites.

5. Avoid downloading programs from unknown sources

Downloads may contain hidden programs that can compromise your computer's security. Likewise, e-mail attachments from unknown senders may contain harmful viruses.

We maintain high security standards to ensure your money is protected at all times. If you have any questions or concerns, please call us on 0800 22 44 33 or email ClientServicesNZ@rabobank.com.

First of all, don't panic.

• Do not respond to the email. This is important because the fraudster will then know that your email address is a real one.
• Do not click on any links in the email. This might download spyware programs to your computer.
• Contact the bank or company the email appears to be from and advise them.

Call us on 0800 22 44 33 (+64 4 8192870) between 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday. You can also email ClientServicesNZ@rabobank.com outside of business hours.
