The upsizing progressed successfully.
This process was started in 2004 to create, through the merger of local banks, a smaller number of morę powerful banks without affecting the aim to be and remain the 'near you' bank.
In the year under review, the number of local X banks declined by 40, to 288.
The upsizing towards greater expertise and professionalism is necessary, especially to be able to provide adequate services to the top segment
of the private individuals and corporate markets. As an extension of this, Operation Service was initiated at X Bank Nederland in order to shape its support function
to morę closely meet the service needs of the professionalised banks.
This reorganisation is expected to generate cost savings of EUR 200 million, partly by a staff reduction of 1,200 FTEs. Besides better service from X Bank Nederland,
Operation Service will result in lower costs for the local banks.
