Legal & Compliance

Working at Legal

Legal elements play a role in almost everything that is worked on within ABN AMRO. We have an extensive range of products and services, a wide range of private and business customers and the content of it all is becoming increasingly complex. At the same time there is also a lot going on outside the bank. Changes in financial laws and regulations follow at a rapid pace and both the public and regulators follow us critically. As a result, other departments increasingly need advice and guidance from legal specialists. The Legal department within ABN AMRO is therefore a very challenging environment for legal specialists to work in.
Our Legal specialists support all departments in achieving their objectives based on their expertise, creativity and experience. In doing so, they focus on identifying and reducing legal risks. Protecting the bank's reputation is an important part of this.

Working at Compliance

Within ABN AMRO we work hard to stay within the limits of legislation and regulations. After all, ABN AMRO is continuously monitored by external supervisors. The requirements of these regulators are constantly changing and becoming more and more complex. For this we can write a whole book with rules for our employees, but we would rather see them decide for themselves which behaviour is appropriate for each given situation. Difficult dilemmas require both sharpness and nuance.
The bridge between regulation and our business
ABN AMRO aims to conduct all banking activities with integrity. Our Compliance officers not only have a prescribing and controlling function, but also an advisory role, so that it is clear throughout the organization why we must comply with the rules. We regularly discuss transparent product development, unambiguous regulations and corporate responsibility. Therefore, an exciting and varied environment.
