Ajaxrekening to be converted to a Young Person’s Growth Account
In January 2025, your child’s Ajaxrekening will be converted to a Young Person’s Growth Account: a free current account for children and young people aged 0 to 18. Only the name will change; the account number and debit card will remain the same. Please note: if your child already has a Young Person’s Growth Account as well as an Ajaxrekening, we will convert the Ajaxrekening to a personal account which will be free until your child’s 18th birthday.
When your child reaches the age of 18, we will automatically convert the Young Person’s Growth Account into a free Student Account at the start of the first month following their 18th birthday. You don’t need to do anything yourself.
Surcharge for non-residents for the current account
For clients who live outside the Netherlands or in the Caribbean Netherlands (the ‘BES islands’), the costs we as a bank have to incur are higher on average. We pass on a portion of these higher costs in our fees. The amount of the surcharge depends on the risk profile of the country where you live, which we reassess each year. Given that the situation in certain countries has changed, we have placed these countries in a different risk category, with a different surcharge. The risk category for the following countries will change on 1 January 2025:
- Georgia
- Grenada
- Monaco
- Montenegro
- Switzerland
- Saint Martin
