As of 1 January 2022, the limit for withdrawing cash (notes and coins) free of charge changed from €12,000 to €17,500 per year. This allows you to withdraw more money without incurring costs. The €17,500 threshold applies per account holder, rather than per debit card or current account. If you have several accounts, the withdrawals from all your accounts will be added together. In this context, withdrawals from a joint account will be assigned to the account holders in equal shares. The €17,500 threshold applies to all cash withdrawals of coins and notes (including foreign currency) in the Netherlands and abroad. When you make any withdrawals in foreign currency, the euro equivalent will be added. If your cash withdrawals exceed €17,500 per year, a fee of €5 per transaction plus 0.5% of the amount withdrawn will be charged. Different thresholds apply for students and young people. See the calculation examples at the bottom of this page.
In the tables below, the fee bracket reflects the ratio between the amount withdrawn or deposited and the costs charged in addition.
