“Can a bank-owned digital sub-brand survive as a narrow, adviser-distributed mortgage specialist inside its parent's balance sheet?”
Moneyou was founded in 2001 as an online consumer bank subsidiary of ABN AMRO offering savings, consumer loans and mortgages across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.
