The Credit Transformation Office, formerly named as the FCD Office, oversees change initiatives that are responsible for building a future-proof and robust credit landscape. FCD change initiatives are important for ABN AMRO's license-to-operate. This means that regulations and risk requirements are firmly anchored in Credit Transformation Office’s value chain and control framework. Furthermore, we are working on integrated IT systems that enable us to do our work efficiently, to deliver accurate and timely reports and to meet (future) customer needs. Credit Transformation Office hierarchically reports to the Head of Lending Transformation, which reports to the Head of Financing Solutions (FS).
