basic bank information
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is a leading commercial bank in the Netherlands, non-state-owned or joint-venture, focused on retail, commercial and private banking. Originating in 1824 as the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij (NHM), it was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Algemene Bank Nederland (ABN) and the Amsterdamsche en Rotterdamsche Bank (AMRO). The headquarters is located in the Zuidas business district of Amsterdam (Gustav Mahlerlaan 10). Briefly nationalized during the 2007-2008 financial crisis, it was relisted in 2015 via IPO (ticker symbol: ABN) and is controlled by Stichting Administratiekantoor Continuïteit ABN AMRO Bank, which is under mixed ownership.
the scope of the service
With a core focus in the Netherlands and Northwest Europe, ABN AMRO provides retail, commercial and private banking services, with a global presence in Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan), the Americas (USA, Brazil) and Australia, but mainly for Dutch companies overseas. As of 2024, ABN AMRO has around 300 outlets and more than 1,000 ATMs in the Netherlands, which have been streamlined due to digital transformation. There are about 12 international branches, mainly located in Northwest Europe (e.g., Germany, Belgium) and the Asia-Pacific region, with an emphasis on cross-border financial services. The ATM network mainly serves the local Netherlands, and international customers rely more on digital channels

In terms of deposit insurance, the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) provides protection of up to €100,000 per depositor. In recent years, banks have continued to strengthen their anti-financial crime systems and invested heavily in improving KYC and AML compliance.
