BANK (INDIA)
Background
ABN AMRO (India) has had a long-standing presence in India, having been in Kolkata and Mumbai
since 1920. Traditionally known as a “diamond-financing bank”, it has transformed itself from a bank
focusing on the corporate business segment into a bank providing a comprehensive range of
services across multiple channels. After the merger of ABN and AMRO worldwide, the bank
started expanding in a big way in India, 991 onwards. The Delhi branch was set up in the very same
year and ABN AMRO was launched in other Indian cities between 1994 and 1999. Anticipating
the emergence of retail banking in India, the bank acquired the retail business of the Bank of
America in 1999. Currently ABN AMRO has 16 branches across 11 cities. The Bank had a total
income of US$ 248.1 million in 2003-04 and employed about 1,400 people.
ABN AMRO Bank has a strong focus on the consumer and commercial clients business in India
and it currently offers a wide range of assets (auto loans, personal loans, loans against securities),
liability (current, savings accounts and term deposits) and investment products (mutual funds) to
its customers.
