As an international bank with European roots, ABN AMRO focuses on consumer, commercial, and private banking activities. Our business mix is what gives us a competitive edge in our chosen markets and client segments. Our clients are the prime beneficiaries of our relationship-based business approach, which we apply through our Business Units (BUs).
In January 2006, ABN AMRO moved to reinforce its mid-market focus and realise the benefits of being one bank more effectively by adopting a new structure. This structure enables us to share expertise and operational excellence across the Group with greater impact.
ABN AMRO's Group structure comprises:
- seven Client BUs
- three Product BUs
- two cross-BU Segments
- Group Functions
- Services
.
The seven Client BUs consist of five regional BUs (Netherlands, Europe including Antonveneta, North America, Latin America and Asia) and two global BUs, Private Clients and Global Clients.
The two Product BUs (Global Markets and Transaction Banking) support the Client BUs by developing and delivering products for all of our clients globally.
We bind all our Client BUs together through a cross-BU Consumer Client Segment and a cross-BU Commercial Client Segment.
Group Functions delivers value-added support across the Group in areas ranging from Risk to Finance and from Human Resources to Sustainability, while always balancing global control with local flexibility and expertise.
Services continues to focus on increasing our operational efficiency through Group-wide consolidation and standardisation.
As it is customary, ABN AMRO reports the financial results of its Private Equity business separately.
For the financial results of the Group and each individual BU, please note that the financial results of BU Global Markets, BU Transaction Banking and BU Global Clients are reported in the regional BUs.
