Processing your change of directors
This process consists of several steps. We try to complete each step within 5 days. In total, the process can take about 30 days. Click on the steps on the right to read how we process your change.
Step 1: Start processing your request
- First of all, we check whether your change of directors has also been reported to the Chamber of Commerce (KVK).
- For new acting directors and partners, we check whether we have all the information we need to process the change.
- Are there acting directors or partners or mates leaving your organisation? We will remove these people from our administration. They will no longer have access to the banking affairs of your organisation. Do these people have business debit cards in their name? And are these debit cards linked to your organisation? If so, these debit cards will be blocked.
Step 2: Identification of directors
Do your new directors or partners have a personal account with us? Then we have already identified them.
Do your new directors or partners not have a personal account with us? Then they must first identify themselves.
This can be done online via the ABN AMRO app. We will send an e-mail with instructions to the newly registered person.
Step 3: Signing the amended contract
You will receive and sign the contract for the amended board of directors. You can do this digitally via ZealiD of iDIN. We will send you an e-mail with instructions.
Please note: if you sign via iDIN, you will need a personal bank card from a Dutch bank connected to iDIN. Read more about iDIN and connected banks here.
Step 4: Confirmation and debit cards
We will process your contract and send you a confirmation.
New directors or partners will receive their debit card by mail. This will take a maximum of 5 working days. Please note that the debit card will be sent to your business address. Not to the private address of the new director or partner.
Step 5: Requesting the status of your request
Want to know the status of your change? Our Chatbot Anna can help you with that (in Dutch). Make sure you have your Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number handy. Then ask chatbot Anna: "Wat is de status van mijn bestuurswijziging?".
Frequently asked questions about changing directors
Why do I need to report a change of directors?
To be able to bank securely, it is important that only the right people have access to the banking affairs of your organisation. New directors and partners cannot bank on behalf of your organisation unless they are authorised to do so. They then become an acting director.
Is an acting director leaving your organisation? Then this person should be removed. Are there new partners? Then it is important to always let us know. This way you keep your banking safe, and ensure that only the right people have access to the banking affairs of your organisation. Such as withdrawing money with the business debit card or logging into Internet Banking Business.
What information do I need when reporting a change of directors?
Are you going to register a new director? And does this person have a private account with us? Then you only need the private account number of this person.

- First name(s) and surname(s) as stated on the proof of identity
- Date of birth
- Address
