Call Check
Check who’s calling you
Unfortunately, phone scams are rather common. Scammers may call you directly, posing as a bank employee. They may claim to be calling from our fraud desk, for example. If you aren’t sure whether you’re really speaking to a member of ABN AMRO staff, ask for a Call Check. This way, you can be sure about who’s calling you and prevent fraud.

FAQs about the Call Check
Why is ABN AMRO offering the Call Check?
Unfortunately, a lot of people are still falling victim to bank help desk fraud. In the first half of 2024, the number of reports of bank help desk fraud received by the Fraud Help Desk was higher than last year. Scammers are able to pressurise people into transferring money into a so-called secure account. ABN AMRO clients are also being affected and we want to put a stop to this. That’s why we’ve introduced the Call Check to make it easier for our clients to recognise a scam and prevent fraud.
