Frequently asked questions

What is the standard limit on a debit card?
The standard withdrawal limit is €500. You can change the card limit yourself, but do be aware that you can’t choose a card limit that’s higher than your account balance. For example, if your balance is €750, the highest limit you can set for your card is €750.
What is the standard daily limit?
You can transfer up to €5,000 a day without an e.dentifier. You can transfer higher amounts using Internet Banking, but you’ll need your e.dentifier to do that. 
  • Up to €250,000 per transfer
  • With iDEAL: up to €50,000 per day
What if I want to withdraw more than the maximum?
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to withdraw more than the maximum card limit of €50,000 per day.
What is the limit for contactless payments, and how do I change it?
Normally, you can make consecutive contactless payments up to €50. The maximum amount has been temporarily increased to €100. It’s not possible to change the amount up to which you can make contactless payments with your debit card. This is to prevent fraud and misuse if your card is stolen, for example.
When does the new limit take effect?
Both a modified daily limit and a limit for your debit card take effect at once. No need to wait.
What are the charges for withdrawing a larger amount?
Withdrawing cash costs money in some cases. If you withdraw more than €17,500 per year in cash, a fee of €5 per transaction plus 0.5% of the amount withdrawn is charged. See this page for more information about costs.
How much can I withdraw from a Geldmaat ATM?
All ABN AMRO ATMs have been replaced by Geldmaat ATMs. The amounts you can withdraw are the same everywhere. You can set a separate card limit for cash withdrawals (maximum €10,000 per day).
