ABN Amro Commercial Finance and ABN Amro Lease have merged to form ABN Amro Asset Based Finance N.V.

The UK branch is led by Richard de Keijzer, previously managing director of ABN Amro Commercial Finance and prior to that, ABN Amro Lease.

Deborah Bell and Simon Lefevre will continue to head up the respective commercial departments and both business lines will continue to use their trading names.

The merger combines two asset-based business lines to drive economies of scale, with greater efficiencies for growth and underpinned by increased capital strength.

Richard de Keijzer, managing director said: “By formalising the partnership of our experienced asset-based finance professionals across commercial finance and lease, we hope to create increased opportunities to UK businesses as we continue to develop our cross-border and multi-local funding solutions.”

Together the combined UK entity will have a portfolio of approximately £1.4bn, with almost 1,000 clients and 200 employees, said ABN Amro.
