How do I update my contact details?
Please send a written instruction to change to the new address and also send proof of address (bank statements within last 6 months, see funds transfer request section for further detail).

If you closed your account(s) before the 16th May 2018, your statement and certificate of interest were posted to the address on record.

I had a Term Deposit account - what happened to my account/interest?
Any active term deposit accounts were closed on the 12th March 2018 and all interest up to the maturity date was applied to your balance less any DIRT that was applicable. The balance was then transferred to your demand account and was available to you from the 15th March 2018 as outlined in a letter issued to you on the 21st February 2018.  We issued closing statements for term deposits at the end of March.
If you did not close your demand account we closed it as outlined in FAQ – Since RaboDirect closed – where are my funds?
I had a Notice Saver account – Do I still need to apply the notice period?
The notice period on all Notice Saver accounts was waived in our announcement on the 21st February 2018. This account is now closed.

What do I do with my Digipass?
Following closure of your account(s) your Digipass was disabled and you can no longer access the RaboDirect secure site. You can return your old Digipass to RaboDirect at FREEPOST F4006, PO BOX 10152, Dublin 2.
Why did RaboDirect close?
RaboDirect Ireland, the online savings bank, closed on 16th May 2018. The decision followed moves by our parent, the Rabobank Group, to simplify its business model across the world and reduce costs.  RaboDirect was established in Ireland in 2005 to provide efficient funding for lending activities, but as conditions changed across Europe generally, including Ireland, this source of funding was no longer required by Rabobank.
What communications were sent to customers about RaboDirect withdrawing from the Irish marketplace?
Here are all the communications we made to inform customers

  • A letter on the 21st February to the address on file to inform them that we were closing on the 16th May 2018 and what steps were needed to close accounts.
  • A reminder letter in April 2018 to any customers who had not yet closed their accounts.
  • A secure email which they would have seen when they logged in to their RaboDirect account.
  • Closure notifications on our public and secure websites since the 21st February 2018 until closure on the 16th May 2018.
