Fortis Bank Nederland

In September–October 2008, the Dutch government first planned to invest €4 billion in exchange for an almost 50% interest in the holding (in new-to-be-issued shares), but within a week the agreement was cancelled.

Later, Fortis Bank Nederland appeared in the news because it had lost €1 billion in the Madoff investment scandal.

In March 2009, it reported that during 2008 it had an operational profit of €0.6 billion; this excluded (massive) write-offs.

In February 2010 Fortis Bank Nederland was integrated into the new ABN AMRO by the Dutch Government and some parts were sold off.

On the July 1 that year the integration was officially completed and the Fortis name ended.
