Changing your debit card limit

You can increase or lower your debit card limit yourself.

Your debit card has three limits

    A limit on payments made in an online store or at card reader, for example in a shop a cash withdrawal limit for withdrawals from ATMs (such as a Geldmaat ATM) a contactless payment limit

You can change a limit temporarily or permanently. If you opt for a temporary change, it takes effect immediately. If you make a permanent change, it takes effect from the next working day.

Different limits apply to payments and withdrawals.

Online payments

The new Mastercard and Visa debit cards also allow you to pay online.

The limit applying to payments made at a card reader is normally €5,000 per week. The standard limit is €10,000 for a Rabo Ample Package, and €500 for a Rabo Youth Account.

If you have a new debit card from Mastercard or Visa, the limit applying to payments made at a card reader is also the limit that applies to online payments.

Good to know: for Geldmaat ATMs, a week starts at midnight on Thursday morning and ends at midnight the following Wednesday evening. Some banks in the Netherlands and other countries apply lower withdrawal limits.
