Your money is in safe hands

Your money is in safe hands

When you give a bank your money you need to know that it's in the safest of hands. Watch Video - Rabobank CEO Bert Heemskerk

Well, here's the good news. Rabobank has an AAA-rating from the international rating agencies Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Dominion Bond Rating Service. So why is this important? This is the highest level of creditworthiness that a bank can attain and not many banks have this rating.

In fact, no Irish bank is AAA rated. Measured by its core capital, Rabobank is one of the top twenty world's largest financial institutions. To put this in context, Rabobank's assets are larger than AIB and Bank of Ireland's …put together.

You'll also be reassured to know that Rabobank was once again voted the "World's Safest Privately Owned Bank" again in Global Finance's annual survey.

What about access to my money on the internet? How safe is that? 

As an online-only bank you won't be surprised to hear that we take internet security very seriously. All banks say that don't they? They probably do but at RaboDirect we've implemented levels of online security via our Digipass  system that lead the way in Ireland. In the Netherlands three quarters of the Dutch online banking population choose to bank online with Rabobank so we've plenty of experience on the internet. And to back up our claims, we're still the only bank to offer its customers a unique "No-Fraud Online Banking Guarantee."
