The ABN AMRO app on a tablet

Also convenient: holding a larger device and seeing a larger version of the app. A tablet connects to your home’s WiFi network, so you won’t need mobile internet. Just make sure your WiFi network is password-protected.
Sharing a device with your partner

You can then log in with your personal identification code. Never share this code with anyone else, not even your partner.
What are iOS, iPadOS and Android?
iOS, iPadOS and Android are operating systems for mobile phones and tablets. These systems also protect your device and keep it secure. iOS and iPadOS are Apple’s operating systems and are always used on iPhones and iPads. Android is Google’s operating system and runs on phones and tablets from different brands, such as Samsung.
Why do I need a newer version of Android, iOS or iPadOS?
It’s crucial for your device to be secure and stay that way, which is why Apple (iOS and iPadOS) and Google (Android) release security updates several times a year. These updates protect protect your phone or tablet. If a device no longer receives security updates, that means that it is not properly secure.
Google, Apple and the manufacturers decide when a device stops receiving updates. This generally occurs when a device reaches a certain age. iPadOS You are then unable to install a new version of iOS, iPadOS or Android and no longer receive security updates.
We feel it is important that you use the ABN AMRO app on a device that is fully protected. That way you can do your banking securely. This is why the app only works on phones and tablets running a recent version of iOS, iPadOS or Android.
How can I tell if my current device is suitable?
You can see on your device which version of Android, iOS or iPadOS you are using. This information is shown in the settings. If you have an Android device, the information is generally shown under the ‘software’ or ‘software information’ heading. On a device running iOS or iPadOS, you should look under the ‘info’ or ‘about’ heading.
If your device has at least iOS or iPadOS 15 or Android 13, you can use the ABN AMRO app. If the version is lower, check whether you can install an update. If you can’t, your device is not suitable.
Do I have to use mobile banking with the ABN AMRO app?
