Rabobank is undergoing operational and structural transitions. The bank is set to introduce new general terms and conditions for private payment accounts on November 1, 2026, which includes the rebranding of iDEAL to Wero as part of a transition to a European payment method. 

Simultaneously, the bank is engaged in labor negotiations with trade unions, such as De Unie. These discussions involve social plans and employee training, with unions raising concerns over “Project Paris,” an outsourcing project affecting the mortgage chain. Employees have reported issues regarding job uncertainty and high workloads during this period of change.
