According to the plans, between 625 and 950 jobs will disappear next year. By 2020 the bank wants between 975 to a total of 1,375 jobs scrapped.

"The intention is to achieve as much savings as possible by reducing the number of external employees. However, the impact will be greatest for our internal employees", the document reads. ABN Amro hopes that the reorganization will make the bank simpler and more agile. According to the bank, it is facing a "considerable number of challenges" various angles. "Customers and regulators force us to respond more quickly to changing needs." The bank's margins are also challenged by new and existing providers offering different and cheaper products and services.
