- Innovation

ABN AMRO has been named the Netherlands’ Best Retail Bank by the international financial platform Euromoney. The award was presented during the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026 and recognises ABN AMRO’s ongoing efforts to make banking accessible, personal and relevant for millions of clients in the Netherlands, as well as for a younger generation through our new neo-bank BUUT.
According to the jury, ABN AMRO shows how an established bank can continue to innovate successfully by responding to changing client needs and engaging new target groups. The launch of BUUT is a strong example of this. With a social media-style newsfeed, financial education and digital savings pots, BUUT connects with the daily lives and financial needs of a new generation of clients. The jury also praised ABN AMRO’s strong results, including growth in its mortgage portfolio, a larger market share in savings, and the further expansion of its services through, among others, BUX and the planned acquisition of NIBC.
Annerie Vreugdenhil, Chief Commercial Officer Personal & Business Banking:
“This recognition shows that banking is about more than products and technology. In the end, it is about trust: understanding what clients need at important moments in their lives and continuously improving our services so they meet expectations at every age and life stage, while also keeping pace with developments in society. We are grateful to our clients for the trust they place in us.”
