Processing your board change

This process consists of several steps. We try to complete each step within 5 days. In total, the process can take about 30 days. Click on the steps on the right to read how we process your change.

Step 1: Start processing your request

First of all, we check whether your board change has also been reported to the Chamber of Commerce (KVK).
For new acting directors, partners or mates, we check whether we have all the information we need to process the change.
Are there acting directors, partners or mates leaving your organisation? We will remove these people from our administration. They will no longer have access to the banking affairs of your organisation. Do these people have business debit cards in their name? If so, these debit cards will be blocked.

Step 2: Identification of directors

Do your new directors, partners or mates have a private account with us? Then we have already identified them.

Do your new directors, partners or mates not have a private account with us? Then they must first identify themselves.

This can be done online via the ABN AMRO app. We will send an e-mail with instructions to the newly registered person.

Step 3: Signing the amended contracts

You will receive and sign the contracts for the amended board. This can be done digitally. We will send you an e-mail with instructions.

Step 4: Confirmation and debit cards

We will process your contracts and send you a confirmation.

New directors, partners or mates will receive their debit card by mail within a maximum of 5 working days. Please note that the debit card will be sent to your business address. Not to the private address of the new director, partner or mate.

Step 5: Requesting the status of your request

Want to know the status of your board change? Our Chatbot Anna can help you with that (in Dutch). Make sure you have your Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number handy, and ask chatbot Anna: "Wat is de status van mijn bestuurswijziging?".

Frequently asked questions about board changes

Why do I need to report a board change?

To be able to bank securely, it is important that only the right people have access to the banking affairs of your organisation. New directors, partners and mates cannot bank on behalf of your organisation, unless they are authorised to do so. They then become an acting director.

Is an acting director leaving your organisation? Then this person should be removed. Are there new partners or mates? Then it is important to always let us know. This way you keep your banking safe, and ensure that only the right people have access to the banking affairs of your organisation. Such as withdrawing money with the business debit card or logging into Internet Banking Business.

What information do I need when reporting a board change?

Are you going to register a new director? And does this person have a private account with us? Then you only need the private account number of this person. We can retrieve the other data from our system.

Does your new director not have a private account with us? Then we need the following information:

• Name

• Date of birth

• Address

• Phone number and email address

• Passport, identity card or driving licence details (document number, country of birth, date and place of issue)

• Citizen service number

• Is the new director liable for tax abroad? Then we ask for the country and the tax number.

• Is the new director a UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)? Then we need to know the type of interest and the percentage, or the role in the organisation.

I have reported a board change. What's next?

After you have reported a board change, we will process the change. This can take up to 30 days.

Have you registered a new director?

Then we check whether we have all the necessary information and whether it is correct. If the new director, partner or mate does not have a private account with us, they must first identify themselves. This can be done online via the ABN AMRO app. We will send an e-mail with instructions to the registered person. If the registered person does have a private account with us, identification is not necessary. We then extract the necessary information from our system.

Have you deregistered a leaving director?

Then we remove this person from our administration, and we ensure that this person no longer has access to the banking affairs of your organisation. Are there any business debit cards in this person's name, and are they linked to your organisation? Then these debit cards will be blocked.

How long will it take for my change to be processed?

Processing a board change can take up to 30 days. We will keep you informed of the progress of your change.

I have a business credit card. Do I need to arrange anything for this?

Does your organisation have a business credit card? Please also inform International Card Services, our business credit card issuer, of the board change.
