ABN AMRO introduces Pension Investment
Nearly half of self-employed people in the Netherlands have not done enough to build up a pension, according to research (in Dutch). The lack of a solid pension plan is also one of the main worries for clients of ABN AMRO. The bank wants to help payroll and self-employed workers to gain more control over their post-retirement income. That’s why ABN AMRO has created a new product this month, which lets new and existing clients invest for additional pension accrual alongside their pension savings. This offers all workers a flexible and tax-efficient way to build their financial future.

Because we believe equal opportunities and equal pay go hand in hand. We also conduct research every year on equal pay at ABN AMRO. "Fortunately, the difference in pay for men and women has been close to 0 percent for years. But we are not there yet," says Chief HR Officer Suzanne van Niekerk-De Veld.
