Frequently asked questions

Who can use banking identity?

Bank iD can be used by all natural persons whose identity we have personally verified at one of our branch offices or via our courier, or natural persons who have opened an account with Raiffeisenbank using banking identity from another bank. Also, the person must be a citizen of the Czech Republic having permanent residence in the Czech Republic (holder of a Czech ID card). The service is being gradually launched for foreigners residing in the Czech Republic. It will be available to all foreigners in the third quarter of 2023 at the latest.

Where and how do I set up my RB Bank Identity?

If you hold a product with us and we have physically verified your identity at any of our branches at least once, your internet banking access sets up your RB Bank Identity automatically without requiring you to register.
If you have taken out a product with us online without using banking identity from another bank and we have not met in person, just visit us at a branch with a valid ID card to let us activate your RB Bank Identity.

Where can I use my banking identity?

You can use your banking identity for a number of digital public services provided by the government. Within public administration, your banking identity is good for signing in to the Citizen Portal, Vaccination Portal or eRecept application (electronic prescriptions). However, BankID also works as an authentication tool with private companies, such as utilities suppliers, mobile operators, betting offices and selected online stores.

What if I don't hold any product with you?

If you do not personally hold a product with us (for example, you are a signatory of a corporate account), you have to enable RB Bank Identity in internet banking, specifically under “Settings” - “RB Bank Identity”. The condition is that you have your RB Key, which we will register for use with the banking identity.

Can I check somewhere that my RB Bank Identity has been activated?

Yes, once your RB Bank Identity is active, you can see it as enabled directly in your internet banking. Just open the "Settings" section and look for "RB Bank Identity". Here, you can also disable it or enable it again later.

What login methods does my RB Bank Identity allow?

To sign in, you can use our most secure method with RB klíč (RB Key), the key you also use to sign in to your internet banking or confirm online payments.

If you sign in to internet banking using SMS codes only, you cannot use RB Bank Identity.

How does Bank iD authentication work?

Quite simply. On the portal of a company or public authority using Bank iD, choose sign in with Bank iD. Then, choose authentication through your bank. You will be redirected to the bank’s website to consent to the data transfer and then you will be taken back to the portal. Only you and your bank can see your login details. The company or authority does not see the details and does not have access to them.

Is signing in with RB Bank Identity friendly for the visually impaired and blind?

Yes, signing in using RB Bank Identity is also available for the visually impaired and blind.
