ABN AMRO Clearing Bank (AACB) is a specialized subsidiary of ABN AMRO with its own banking license and about 1,000 employees worldwide. Operating as a largely self-sufficient organization, AACB provides clearing services across major global markets, holds leading exchange positions, and delivers reliable market infrastructure. Due to its systemic importance, it is closely supervised by regulators and central banks across multiple jurisdictions.
Aligned with the ABN AMRO Three Lines of Defence model, the Operational Risk Management (ORM) function within Clearing acts as the second line of defence. This function is responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring operational risks that could affect the continuity, reliability, and security of clearing activities. Operating globally, ORM ensures consistent risk oversight and the implementation of robust control frameworks across all regions.
