IBAN-Name Check

• When making a credit transfer on Internet Banking or in the ABN AMRO app, we automatically check whether the recipient's name you provide matches the IBAN.
• You will get a notification if the name and IBAN you enter differ from those we have on record.
• If you make a typo (e.g. Jansen instead of Janse), IBAN Name Check suggests a name: ‘Did you mean Janse?’
• The notification serves both as a warning and a suggestion. It is still you who determines whether to submit or cancel the payment after receiving a notification and you remain responsible for the credit transfers you make.
• You will also be notified if the recipient is using the account switching service. You will then see the recipient’s new IBAN.

If you have received a notification, check the IBAN again. If the IBAN is incorrect, contact the person to whom you are transferring funds. The notification about the new IBAN from the account switching services is purely for information purposes. You can save the recipient’s new IBAN in your address book. Then, the next time when transferring funds, you can use the right IBAN straight away.

IBAN Name Check works for credit transfers made on Internet Banking and in the ABN AMRO app. It mostly works for Dutch current account and savings account numbers held in Euros.

IBAN Name Check does not work for:

• iDEAL payments
• Credit transfers in a foreign currency and/or outside of SEPA
• Credit transfers via Acces Online Classic and Access Direct
• Credit transfer batches
• Direct debits

You will only receive a notification if you have entered both the IBAN and the name of the person to whom you wish to transfer funds. The notification will appear under the name field. This also applies to the notification you receive if the recipient is using the account switching service. An example is given below.
