Your fixed costs at a glance
Insight and easy to cancel
When you think of your fixed costs, the first things that come to mind are probably energy costs, rent or mortgage, and insurance. But subscriptions are also part of your fixed costs. And there are more of these than you might think. Think about the gym, newspapers, streaming services or your accounting software. The ABN AMRO app now gives you insight into your average fixed costs per month. It also lets you cancel subscriptions directly. Now that’s useful! You keep tighter control of your expenses.

Cancelling subscriptions in the app
The ABN AMRO app allows you to cancel personal and business subscriptions directly. Tap the subscription concerned and select ‘Cancel’. Select ‘Cancel the subscription for me’ if you want us to cancel it on your behalf. We’ll then ask you for some extra information about you and the subscription. Or select ‘I’ll cancel this subscription myself’ and you’ll be given all the information you need to do it yourself.

Frequently asked questions about Subscriptions
How can ABN AMRO cancel subscriptions on my behalf?
We ask you for extra information in the app, such as details of the subscription, personal details, authorisation to cancel and a signature. This is why we’re able to cancel the subscription on your behalf.
How do I know if the cancellation has gone through?
If we manage to cancel the subscription for you, you’ll see a message in your Fixed costs. We’ll also send a message if we need more information or if we were unable to cancel your subscription.
When will the cancellation come into effect?
We will send the cancellation order as soon as you give your approval in the ABN AMRO app. So this is the date of cancellation. If you had to give notice of cancellation, it will take effect from that date onwards.
Why can’t I cancel all my subscriptions?
You can cancel certain subscriptions in the ABN AMRO app, including those for streaming services or a sports club. But some subscriptions or direct debits can’t be cancelled in the app. These include healthcare insurance, for example, or rent. This is why you won’t see the option of cancelling next to every subscription.
Is cancelling a subscription free of charge?
Yes, it’s a free service. It’s just one of the things we do for our clients.
