ABN AMRO to Acquire NIBC From Blackstone in About €960 Million Book-Value Deal

Completion awaits regulatory approvals plus works-council consultation with closing targeted for the second half of 2026.

Overview

  • The price is set at 0.85 times NIBC’s share capital book value with an estimated consideration of roughly €960 million subject to closing adjustments.
  • ABN AMRO positions the acquisition as a scale play in mortgages and savings across the Netherlands and Northwest Europe with expected synergies.
  • Management guides to a return on invested capital of around 18% by 2029 and estimates an approximately 70 basis-point impact on the CET1 ratio at completion.
  • Brand changes include ending the Moneyou label, continuing with ABN AMRO and Florius, and potentially adding NIBC’s mortgage brand.
  • Planned integration measures include a legal merger of ABN AMRO Hypotheken Groep into the bank, broader savings reach in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, and exploration of synergies via a potential combination with the BUX platform.
