Customer due diligence costs

What this means for you

We pass on a limited part of our customer due diligence costs to clients who have a business current account. We do this starting 1 year after a company becomes a business customer with us. Read on to find out more about the changes and our reasons behind this.

Preventing financial crime

ABN AMRO is committed to preventing financial and economic crime such as fraud, money laundering and the financing of terrorism. This is an important social duty of ours, and we are also required to do so by law. As a bank, we can and want to do our bit for a safer society.

In this respect, we fulfil a 'gatekeeper role', meaning that we actively monitor for potentially suspicious financial transactions. We do this by verifying transactions and our clients’ identity.

We have largely covered the costs involved in these verifications and checks ourselves, and we will continue to do so. However, these verifications and checks are costing us more and more time and money. For this reason, starting 1 year after you become a business customer, we charge you a limited part of the cost on a monthly basis.

Fee per business form

If you have one or multiple business accounts with us, we will charge you a monthly customer due diligence fee per entity. If you have one private limited-liability company (a 'BV' under Dutch law), you will be charged the corresponding fee once per month. If you have 4 private limited-liability companies, you will be charged the fee 4 times. 

The table below shows the fees for each business form. 

The extent of our customer due diligence depends on the business form. On average, more complex business forms require more extensive customer due diligence. This is why we charge different fees.

Sole proprietorship ('Eenmanszaak')€ 0

Association and foundation€ 3
