has announced the departure of one of its managing board members.

Joop Wijn will step down from the board and leave the bank on 1 May 2017, joining the board of payment fintech company Adyen as chief strategy and risk officer, the Netherlands-headquartered bank said in a recent statement.

Wijn joined ABN AMRO in early 2009 and was appointed to the board on 1 April 2010. He is responsible for the bank's corporate banking division.

Among recent developments, ABN AMRO last year sold its Asian private bank to Liechtenstein-headquartered LGT Group, part of a trend of some European banks selling wealth operations in Asia.
