Authorise someone to use your current account

• Complete the authorisation form to request the authorisation. You can apply for authorisation if you are a customer of ABN AMRO MeesPierson, have a payment card and access to Internet Banking.
• Do you have a joint account? Then the joint account holder must also be in possession of a payment card and have access to Internet Banking. 
• Does the authorised representative not have their own payment card? Then make an appointment with your private banker and visit the branch in your area together with the authorised representative. 
• After the authorisation has been signed, your request will be processed within 2 working days. The authorised representative will then have access to your account(s).
• Do you want the authorised representative to use your transfer forms? You can arrange this through Private Assistance by phone on: +31 (0)20 343 43 43. Our colleagues from Private Assistance are available on weekdays from 8.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.

When is an authorised representative known?

An authorised representative is known to us if we record their contact details, such as their name and address, and the identification of the authorised representative in our administration. We maintain the following as the authorised representative:

• a legal representative of a minor;
• a person who settles an estate of a deceased customer of ABN AMRO;
• a person who is already an authorised representative for someone else’s account.

• Did you apply for the authorisation through our website? Then the authorised representative can only arrange your banking needs online and, if necessary, pay by payment card.
• Would you like the authorised representative to request or sign paper transfer forms on your behalf? Then please contact your private banker.
• See what an authorised representative is allowed and not allowed to do with your account.

• If the authorised representative is already an ABN AMRO customer, the authorised representative can arrange your banking needs online with their own payment card through Internet Banking and the ABN AMRO app.
• Does the authorised representative not have their own payment card? You will then receive a payment card from us for the account for the authorised representative. You will receive this payment card within 5 working days. 
• The cost of the extra payment card depends on your payment package. View the overview of fees and rates.

An authorisation is free of charge. Have you applied for a payment card for the authorised representative? The cost of the extra payment card depends on your payment package.

Authorisation after end of life

The authorisation expires after the death of the account holder. As soon as we know who the executor is, the account will become available to this person. Until then, the account is in 'estate of' and no transfers can take place. 

Are you authorised for a joint account and is another account holder continuing to use the account? Then the authorisation does not expire.

The account holder must give permission through Internet Banking to use the identification code if the authorised representative wants to use the account through the ABN AMRO app. The account holder does this as follows:

• Log in and go to 'Arrange it yourself'.
• Then click on 'Manage my other products' at the bottom of the page.
• The 'My overview' page will pop up. At the bottom click on the word 'Here'.
• Under the heading 'Authorisations', select 'Manage identification code use'.
• Tap the name of the authorised representative who can use the identification code.
• The authorised representative can now add the account holder’s account to the ABN AMRO app.

ABN AMRO app

• Go to 'Profile' > 'Accounts and payments' and select 'Account overview'. Tick the accounts you want to see in your overview.
• Don’t see the account for which you are authorised in the overview? Or don’t have access to the ABN AMRO app? Then please contact Private Assistance by phone on: +31 (0)20 343 43 43. Our colleagues from Private Assistance are available on weekdays from 8.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
