Scope

- To foster the use of electronic payments and realize the need for instant payments in the Netherlands, the Dutch Payments Association is now working towards building infrastructure for real-time instant payments. The development of the system began in 2015, and it is scheduled to go live by May 2019. All major Dutch banks have decided to contribute towards its development. Once implemented, the new instant payment system will enable individuals to transfer funds within five seconds with no amount limit.
- Digital banks made inroads into the Netherlands during the review period. In February 2016, Pocopay launched its mobile banking service in the Netherlands. It offers a current account and a Mastercard-branded contactless debit card. Meanwhile, Germany-based mobile-only bank N26 launched in the country in December 2016. Account holders are offered a Mastercard debit card that can be used to make payments in stores and online. Mobile-only bank Bunq also operates in the country.
- In order to reduce the costs and risks of handling cash, in May 2017 ABN AMRO, ING, Rabobank, and Geldservice Nederland partnered to create a joint ATM network. This enables their customers to access any ATM of their choice, regardless of the bank that services the ATM. The project is being implemented in phases, and is expected to complete by the end of 2020.
