Download MT940 and CAMT.053 from Rabobank

Step-by-step guide for downloading bank statements from Rabobank for your accounting software.

Downloading bank statements from Rabobank

Rabobank offers business and personal customers the option to download bank statements in CAMT.053, MT940 Structured (.swi) and CSV format. For import into accounting software, we recommend CAMT.053.

MT940 or CAMT.053: which format to choose?

At Rabobank you can choose from MT940 Structured (.swi), CAMT.053 and CSV. We recommend CAMT.053 — this is the newer ISO 20022 format that contains more transaction details and is supported by all modern accounting packages.

Download via Rabo Online Banking

  1. Log in to Rabo Online Banking (bankieren.rabobank.nl).
  2. Click Download transactions in the left menu.
  3. Select the format: CAMT.053 (recommended), MT940 Structured (.swi) or CSV (.csv).
  4. Select the account you want to download from.
  5. Choose the start and end date (maximum 3 consecutive months).
  6. Click Download.

Note: If Rabobank asks whether you want the ‘new’ or ‘old’ format, always choose new format.

Important: Preferably do NOT use the CSV format from Rabobank — it is not reliably imported by many accounting packages due to non-standard column layouts.
