Belastingdienst switches to Rabobank from May 1
The Belastingdienst and Dienst Toeslagen are moving from ING to Rabobank effective May 1, 2026 [1]. As a result, all payment details will change. Payments and refunds related to taxes and benefits will now go through new Rabobank account numbers [2]. Citizens and businesses must update manual payments and standing orders accordingly [3]. Automatic direct debits will be transferred automatically and require no action from users [4].
Key account number for public use
The most commonly used new account number for the Belastingdienst is NL04 RABO 0200 1122 44 [2]. This applies to both tax payments and benefit repayments [3]. Anyone receiving money back from the Belastingdienst will increasingly see transfers coming from this new Rabobank account starting May 1 [4]. Individuals should verify the correct account number in official communications before making payments [5].
Phishing risks rise with banking transition
Authorities warn of increased phishing attempts due to the bank switch [1]. Criminals may exploit confusion by sending fake emails, SMS messages, or WhatsApp alerts appearing to come from the tax office [2]. The Belastingdienst stresses it never requests personal data or immediate payments via email, text message, phone call, or messaging apps [3][4]. Users who suspect fraud should consult the official guide at belastingdienst.nl/phishing [5].
How to stay protected during the change
Residents are advised to only trust information received through official channels such as Mijn Belastingdienst, MijnOverheid, or physical mail [2][5]. Always double-check the bank account number listed in formal letters or digital notifications [3]. Save the correct Rabobank account number directly into online banking systems [1]. Never click on links in unsolicited messages claiming to inform about the change [4]. More details are available at belastingdienst.nl/bank [5].
Temporary grace for mistaken payments
If someone accidentally sends a payment to the old ING account after May 1, it will still be processed [2][3]. Agreements have been made with ING to forward these transactions to the Belastingdienst [4]. However, this is a temporary measure [5]. Continued reliance on outdated information increases risk of delays and potential misuse if criminals intercept future changes [1][2]. Updating records promptly remains essential.
