Antomari Banco di Nortopalazzo e Americanorogunta, or ABN Amro (PAX800: ABN) -- English: Land Registrar's Bank of Nortopalazzo and Central America -- is Pacitalia's fourth-largest chartered corporate bank by assets and value. It has 11,231 branches in Pacitalia, as well as a further 7,845 outside the country. Through its marketed name, ABN Amro, it operates personal/retail, commercial and automated banking and financial services for 1,981,770,026 individual accounts in Pacitalia and 38 foreign countries.

History

ABN Amro is the second oldest of the five major banks, having been created in 1901. The bank was born when a group of 26 landowners in the upper-class northern suburbs of Nortopalazzo, wanting their own way to store funds without using the services of the Banco di Timiocato (Pacibank), created the Antomaribanco di Nortopalazzo (Land Registrar's Bank). This has always led to slight confusion, as the bank has never, in its history, had anything to do with the registration of land, which is a jurisdiction of the federal and provincial governments. However, the bank was originally solely responsible for the management of the funds, assets and investments of landowners, a primary reason for the original board of directors to keep the name. In 1914, ABN Amro expanded its operations to include personal banking for the citizens of Nortopalazzo. By 1920, the provinces of Antigonia, Gulfera and Liguria were fully serviced by ABN Amro branches. Every province had at least ten branches by 1931, and by 1941, Pacitalia had 1,000 branches. Today, the total is more than 11,000 and since 1956, ABN Amro has added to that total by acting as a major player in the international market, particularly retail-personal and commercial-securities banking in other economic powerhouse nations.

Activity

Market capitalisation and asset holdings: ABN Amro has, since its inception, been one of the top five Pacitalian banks in terms of market capitalisation. The totals currently stand at about Đ62.20tn (real). With 1.9 billion individual accounts, there is an average of Đ32,736.84 in available funds per account. The value of the company itself stands at about Đ356 billion.

Employment and partnerships: ABN Amro has the second highest number of employees of Pacitalian banks, behind BNP Paribas. Currently, about 128,000 people work directly for ABN Amro, while another 26,000 work indirectly or contractually for the bank. Many securities groups have strategic partnerships with ABN Amro as well, something the bank's main Pacitalian competitor for international market share, BNP Paribas, does not.
