Can a centuries-old bank still be a leader in innovation? At ABN AMRO, the answer is a clear yes, and Annerie Vreugdenhil is helping make it happen.
In this episode of The Bank Tellers, hosted by Money20/20 Head of Content, Sheryl Chen, Annerie shares how the bank is embracing the needs of the next generation through BUUT, a new banking platform built for Gen Z and their parents. With an Instagram-style interface, scrollable content, and teachable financial moments disguised as memes and short videos, BUUT is reframing financial literacy in a way younger users will actually engage with.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. We also dive into:
-How ABN AMRO is training AI tools to support both clients and agents
-Why digital adoption is harder for older generations, and how the bank is meeting them where they are
-What it means to be a “universal bank” that truly serves everyone, from a 13-year-old to a client in early-stage dementia
-And how trust, timing, and tech come together to create hyper-personalized banking at scale
This is what it looks like when a legacy bank goes boldly into the future.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
