It’s always nice to have a new phone, a new start. And it’s handy if all your apps are there right away, including the ABN AMRO app. Here are a few tips.
You can often transfer your apps to your new device automatically. Choose to copy files and apps from your old device. Once the device has finished installing everything, you’ll see the ABN AMRO app in your overview.
If you have an Android
Use the same Google account as you did on your old phone. This will allow you to choose the apps you want to transfer. To make sure the ABN AMRO app still works properly, don’t transfer it to your new device. Instead, download it again in step 2.
If you have an Apple
Make a back-up of your apps on iCloud. This will allow you to install your apps on your new phone. To make sure the ABN AMRO app still works properly, don’t transfer it to your new device. Instead, download it again in step 2.
Download the app again from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Follow the steps in the ABN AMRO app to activate it. This will link your new device to your bank account(s).
Go to ‘Profile’. Scroll down to ‘Access and usage’. Tap the recycle bin shown next to your old device under ‘Registered devices’. If you also use the app on other devices (such as a tablet), you’ll see a list. The date that you last logged in is shown next to each device. This will help you to decide which devices to remove.
If you’ve got a new phone but your ID doesn’t have an NFC chip, for example, you might have problems activating the ABN AMRO app. If so, you can link your new phone using a unique QR code. Scan the QR code in the app on your old device, and your details will be transferred securely.
