ABN AMRO serves retail, private and commercial banking customers in the Netherlands and to a lesser extent in other markets, where it prioritises in serving Dutch companies doing business abroad. It is also active internationally in areas where it claims to have substantial expertise, such as Energy, Commodities & Transportation (ECT) and ABN AMRO Clearing. Its Private Banking activities are focused on the Netherlands, Europe and Asia.
