ABN Amro replaces e.dentifier for online banking with USB security key
ABN Amro is phasing out the e.dentifier for private customers. From now on, they will log in via the banking app or a new USB security key. According to the bank, this proactive step is necessary to continue guaranteeing the long-term security of online banking.
For customers without a suitable smartphone, the ten-euro USB key offers a reliable alternative. Users insert it into their computer and log in with an email address and PIN, after which a simple touch of the key confirms access.
The transition is taking place in stages. Private individuals will be notified between June and December to indicate their preference (app or key), with business customers following in 2027. A choice, once made, can always be adjusted later.
