YER for NatWest Markets

The organisation

Royal Bank of Scotland is stepping up plans to settle its post-Brexit European headquarters in Amsterdam’s prime Zuidas financial district. The British bank has rented office space in ‘The Rock’ building in the area with room for 150 staff. RBS decided to pull out of most of its European operations after the 2008 financial crisis.

This left only the former Zuidas office and a subsidiary, NatWest Markets, in the city centre. The new European HQ will operate under that name. NatWest Markets is RBS’s commercial bank which finances businesses and trades in bonds and currencies for financial institutions, institutional investors and corporations.

The Amsterdam NatWest business will serve UK clients who want access to the EU, and EU clients who need UK access.
