  • Annerie Vreugdenhil, Chief Commercial Officer at ABN AMRO
    2025/07/10

    Can a centuries-old bank still be a leader in innovation? At ABN AMRO, the answer is a clear yes, and Annerie Vreugdenhil is helping make it happen.

    In this episode of The Bank Tellers, hosted by Money20/20 Head of Content, Sheryl Chen, Annerie shares how the bank is embracing the needs of the next generation through BUUT, a new banking platform built for Gen Z and their parents. With an Instagram-style interface, scrollable content, and teachable financial moments disguised as memes and short videos, BUUT is reframing financial literacy in a way younger users will actually engage with.

    But the innovation doesn’t stop there. We also dive into:

    -How ABN AMRO is training AI tools to support both clients and agents
    -Why digital adoption is harder for older generations, and how the bank is meeting them where they are
    -What it means to be a “universal bank” that truly serves everyone, from a 13-year-old to a client in early-stage dementia
    -And how trust, timing, and tech come together to create hyper-personalized banking at scale

    This is what it looks like when a legacy bank goes boldly into the future.
