Go to Production

You can reach our production environment by using our Production Base URL:

  • https://api.rabobank.nl/openapi/bip

Successfully Test All Relevant API Endpoints (Sandbox Environment)

Before going live, ensure that you:

  • Have access to the Rabobank Sandbox.
  • Can make successful calls to all applicable API endpoints.
  • Have validated your integration using sandbox test scenarios.

This confirms that your implementation is functioning as expected before entering production.

Sign a Rabo Banking Link Contract

To use Rabobank APIs in production, a Rabo Banking Link contract is required.

The process differs depending on your role:

Direct Connectors

If you are connecting directly to Rabobank:

  • Contact your transaction banker.
  • Request a Rabo Banking Link contract.
  • Clearly mention that you require access to your specific API(s).

Third Parties

If you are a partner, integrator, platform, or TPP:

  • Contact Rabobank’s Partner Managers.
  • Request a Rabo Banking Link contract.
  • Specify that the contract is for Third‑Party access to your API(s).

Receive Access to the Production Environment

After your contract and registration are processed, you should receive an email invitation granting access to the production environment.

If you did not receive an invitation:

  • Reach out to your Partner Manager, or
  • Contact our Support team for assistance
👍

Invitations can take some time depending on internal approval steps. Keep an eye on your inbox (and spam folder).

Repeat Your Application Setup (Production Environment)

After receiving access:

Follow the same setup process described in Get Started.

This includes:

  • Registering your application
  • Uploading certificates
  • Configuring callbacks (if applicable)

Your production setup must match your sandbox configuration.

Run Acceptance Tests in Production

Before going live, perform the mandatory acceptance checks:

TLS Handshake Test

Verify that your server client can successfully establish a mutual TLS connection with Rabobank’s production environment. This ensures:

  • Your certificates are correct
  • Network routing is functional
  • Security configuration is valid

End‑to‑End Test

Initiate a end-to-end test, to confirm:

  • The complete API flow works
  • You receive the correct status updates
  • Your integration behaves correctly with live systems

This confirms readiness for real API traffic.

Go Live

After:

  • Sandbox tests are completed
  • Your contract is signed
  • Production setup is finalized
  • Acceptance tests are successful

You are ready to go live with Rabobank APIs.
