The “New payment order” for single payments will be redesigned in phases in the 2^nd quarter of 2020. It has a new look & feel and some nice new possibilities:

• Estimated time of arrival of the payment at the receivers account (instant, today, tomorrow, later).
• Recurring payments with payment reference, eg to the Duth Tax Office.
• Recurring de-saving transfers to own accounts.
• Support ISO Structured Creditor Reference (ISO11649) as a payment reference.
• Cross-currency payments between own accounts.
• Routing a worldpayment via an intermediary bank/BIC and saving the BIC to adressbook.
• Email confirmation to the receiver of the worldpayment.

Last year Rabo Internetbanking Professional added “balance groups” to the menu. Here you can select accounts that are reported as a “group”.  can view all book- and value balances for this group on realtime, or historical basis. Furthermore you can make various downloads from these reports. In these views you can connect to “Transactions” which will give you an overview of the transactions in the selected accounts that are responsible for the reflected balance. This functionality will be further enhanced in 2020. Please use the Feedback button to tell us what is still missing and should be added first to these pages.

In ‘Download Transactions’ an extra tab is added for Large Corporates that require extra insights on their banking costs. This functionality has been made available for all business users. By selecting a period and one or multiple accounts you can download a CSV formatted file with the details on your costs for those account. More info and specifications for this and other download files can be found here.

From 15th October 2019 a customer request for Multibank and Rabo network Banking (RNB) accounts has been fulfilled. In the MT940 Structured and MT942 Structured formats field 25 "Identification of account" has been enriched with the currency code preceded by one blank space. This will ensure that the account will always be unique, in case the account number is set up with multiple currencies.

More information regarding the format descriptions of the MT940 Structured and MT942 Structured is available  here.

Rabo Payment request is now also available in Rabo Internet Banking (Professional). You simply send your customer a Rabo Payment request with a payment link. Your customer can pay directly so that the money will be credited to your account more quickly. Rabo Payment request is available for users with the authorisations ‘Create Payment orders’ and ‘1st signature’.

The benefits of Rabo payment requests:

Your customers will pay the invoice more quickly.The amount will be credited directly to your account.Receive a notification when the money is credited (optional).Also useful as a payment reminder.Pay without pay terminal.

In coming months we will improve the functionality. First we will make it possible to import payment requests to send multiple payment requests at a time. This is followed by the option to authorize users separately for payment requests so that users can send pay payment requests for your company without a payment authorisation.

You can find more information of what is going to change at www.rabobank.nl. With the introduction of Instant Payments, payments in euro’s within The Netherlands will increasingly be credited directly to the beneficiary account, seven days a week. This applies to payments in euros to Rabobank account and to other Dutch banks that are affiliated to Instant Payments. This fast way of paying only applies as of mid-2019 for individual payments in euros via Internet Banking and Mobile Banking. Read more information (Dutch). 

Do you want to be sure that your payment is credited on time? Be aware of the timelines for processing your payment (Dutch).

If orders are removed from a batch, the total amount will be recalculated. The original amount is crossed out and the new total amount will be presented below or next to it. Previously the total amount remained unchanged.

The IRS always needs a payment reference to be able to process your payments into their administration. To reduce the possibility of errors it is now mandatory to fill in the payment reference for payments to the IRS In Rabo Internet Banking. As a result a regularly recurring payment to the IRS isn’t possible, because you cannot give a unique payment reference to a regularly recurring payment.
