Our story began in Brazil 90 years ago, with the arrival of Banco Holandês da América do Sul in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Santos. In 1963 the institution acquired 50% of Aymoré Financiamentos and in 1993 changed its name to ABN AMRO Bank.
In 1971, two years after establishing a presence in São Paulo, Banco da Lavoura de Minas Gerais, founded in 1925, became BANCO REAL. In 1998 BANCO REAL was purchased by ABN AMRO Bank, which acquired Bandepe that same year. The merger of the two institutions was concluded in 2000, and in 2003 the group acquired Banco Sudameris.

In 2006 ABN AMRO REAL became Brazil’s third largest bankby total assets (R$120.8 billion), and in loans and deposits. We are active in the country’s five geographic regions, offering about 2,000branches and banking services outlets to
over 13 million customers. Our operations are supported by more than 30,000 employees. Our local coverage is supplemented by the global reach of ABN AMRO, which has over 4,500 branches in 53 countries and territories, including the world’s leading financial centres.
