ABN AMRO Clearing opens a new IT-hub in Romania with focus on IT & Innovation

To realise her ambitions on digitalisation AACB opens a new IT-hub in Iași, Romania. A couple of deciding factors for this choice were, the availability of qualified personnel, the minimal time difference with the Amsterdam headquarters and the status of Romania as a member of the European Union.

“The opening of the AACB IT Services Romania hub in Iași, Romania, represents an important step towards our aim to utilise global IT talent and stimulate innovation. It will help us in realising our mission: Leading the way to safe and transparent markets.”
