ABN AMRO feels that it is important that everyone is able to independently manage their banking matters by themselves. Products and services must be straightforward and accessible for everyone. We continually strive to accommodate our customers' wishes. That is why we regularly consult with organisations for people with disabilities and interest groups for consumers and small-to-medium sized businesses. Examples of products and services developed thanks to this type of collaboration are shown below.

The International Symbol of Access is a certification by the Dutch Council of the Chronically Ill and the Disabled. This symbol is issued to businesses whose offices comply with requirements for (amongst other aspects) accessibility so the elderly and handicapped can make use of their facilities, products and services. The International Symbol of Access was first assigned to ABN AMRO's branch in Amstelveen in July of 2005 as the first bank in Europe to receive such a designation.
ABN AMRO has been a member of the National Forum on the Payment System since 2002. The Forum seeks to improve the efficiency of the retail payment system on a national Dutch and European level. Its members include the Dutch retailers organisation, banks and organisations for the physically and/or mentally challenged and the chronically ill. One of the initiatives of the Forum is the SEPA transfer, a standard that makes transfers to one of the euro countries just as easy as a domestic transfer. Further details are available on the Dutch central bank's website .
