ABN AMRO's long history in Asia dates back to 1826, when it first began operations in Indonesia and in China, our first banking branch was opened in Shanghai in 1903. Our operations in Taiwan started in December 1980 and now, we are ranked as the number two foreign bank of 36 in the country, employing more than 1,300 staff.
We offer a full range of products in financial markets, transition banking and investment banking to a client base of about 1,000 corporates and financial institutions (as of 31 August 2005). Moreover, we are backed by one of the largest corporate and investment banking businesses in Asia Pacific, covering 15 countries and geared to satisfy the needs of our clients both in cross-border and in local banking transactions. Through our focus on long-term relationships, our customised solutions and our global reach, we give you the service you want, when you want it, wherever you do business.
When we came to Asia, we came to stay, because we want to be a reliable bank for our clients in good and bad economic weather. The diversity of
awards and recognitions ABN AMRO wins reflects our commitment to the Asian Pacific market.
Our clients can expect the highest level of services and tailored solutions. We maintain a broad
global network for an extensive international presence giving you the combined benefit of local knowledge and world-class skills. For more detailed information, please click on the links below:
