Sustainable disposal of physical security token
The physical security token can be sustainably disposed of through e-waste services. This map shows e-waste drop-off locations around New Zealand. Most councils also provide information on disposing of e-waste.
To help offset the carbon emissions related to the disposal of the Digipass, we are partnering with Greenfleet.
Greenfleet plants native biodiverse forests to help capture carbon emissions. Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted over 10.8 million trees across 550+ forests in Australia and New Zealand. As they grow, these forests are able to absorb carbon, support improved soil and water quality, and help restore habitat for native wildlife.

Rabobank is committed to providing banking services which are inclusive of all people. Calls from the National Relay Service are accepted by our Call Centre.
