ABN Amro's ICS to cut 450 staff as it outsources operations to Worldline

ABN Amro's International Card Services (ICS) plans to cut 450 jobs by outsourcing major operations to Worldline starting in Q2 2028. This move reflects a broader trend in the financial sector to streamline operations and reduce costs by relying on specialized third-party providers. The shift could lead to more efficient processing but raises concerns about job security for affected employees.
