Cancel ABN Amro business account
When you want to close your business account with ABN AMRO, it is important that you know exactly which steps you need to take and in what order. Closure is only possible when the balance is correct, all linked products have been terminated, and your records are fully up to date.
For a business ABN AMRO account the closure process is only started once everything has been properly settled. Therefore, check in advance whether all products and administrative links have been ended. In this article, you can read exactly what you need to do so that your business account is closed without delay.
How can I close my ABN AMRO business account?
To close your ABN AMRO business account, you must carry out a number of checks and then submit the closure request via Internet Banking Business. The step-by-step plan below shows you exactly which actions to take and helps you avoid the closure being delayed or refused.
1. Log in to Internet Banking Business
Go to your business account in the overview and check the current balance. The account must not have a negative balance. Check whether there are still transactions in progress, such as incoming payments, direct debits, or payments that still need to be processed. The account can only be closed once all transactions have been fully completed.
2. Save all documents you may still need later
Download bank statements, annual statements, VAT assessments, and other administrative documents. Once your account is closed, your access to Internet Banking Business will end and you will no longer be able to download this data.
3. Check whether there are authorised users linked to the account
If multiple people have access to your business account, their authorisations must be removed or adjusted so that your closure request can be processed without issues.
4. Terminate all products linked to your business account
This includes debit cards, direct debit contracts, business credit facilities, or additional packages. ABN AMRO will only close the account once all linked services have been stopped or amended. You can find and manage these products in Internet Banking Business under ‘Arrange it yourself’ or ‘Management’.
5. Submit your closure request
In Internet Banking Business, go to the ‘Arrange it yourself’ section, choose ‘Close account’, and follow the instructions. During the application, you indicate which account the remaining balance may be transferred to. From now on, check all details carefully before you send the closure request definitively.
6. Wait for confirmation from ABN AMRO
The bank checks whether all products have been terminated and whether there are no transactions outstanding. Once this check has been completed, your business account will be closed and you will receive confirmation. The remaining balance will be transferred automatically to the account you specified.

Cancelling a business savings account with ABN AMRO
If you have a business savings account with ABN AMRO that is linked to your business current account, you may also need to close it. A business savings account usually cannot remain open without an active current account.
During the closure process, you indicate which account the savings balance should be transferred to. Check in Business Internet Banking which savings accounts are still active so that you do not miss any balances and the closure process can proceed without delay.
How long does it take for your business account at ABN Amro to be closed?
You can submit your closure request within a few minutes, but the processing time varies by company. ABN AMRO will close your account once all transactions have been fully processed, all products have been terminated, and all charges have been settled.
The time between submitting the request and the final closure therefore mainly depends on the number of linked services and any pending payments. You will automatically receive a confirmation as soon as the account is fully closed.
Are there any costs associated with closing a business account at ABN Amro?
ABN AMRO does not state any fixed cancellation fees for terminating a business account. In the general terms and conditions, however, the bank does indicate that costs may be charged when terminating the agreement.
In practice, separate cancellation fees are generally not applied, but all ongoing monthly charges and products are settled before the account can be definitively closed. Therefore, make sure you leave sufficient balance in the account so that these costs can be processed.
