Société Générale in the Netherlands
Société Générale has operated in the Netherlands since 1977 through its Amsterdam branch, well before Brexit, alongside smaller specialist units such as an equipment finance arm and a car fleet management subsidiary elsewhere in the country. The Amsterdam team, based in the Rembrandt Tower, focuses on corporate and investment banking and global transaction banking, including cash management and trade finance for Dutch clients. It is a modest but long-standing presence rather than a large-scale operation.
