CTO BUUT

Join BUUT!

Are you a visionary technology leader ready to shape the future of banking? As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at BUUT, you'll lead our technology strategy and drive innovation in our fast-paced fintech environment. If you're passionate about creating cutting-edge banking solutions and leading high-performing teams, we want to talk to you!

We are BUUT. The bank that does things just a Tikkie differently.

After the summer, ABN AMRO will launch neobank BUUT. And this isn’t just any bank. It’s the new bank created by the makers of Tikkie. Simple to use, interactive, fully visually driven, and 100% at home in the world of the new generation.

BUUT offers everything you’d expect from a bank, but with a Tikkie twist. BUUT is built on the knowledge and experience of ABN AMRO and features the same familiar tone, design, and user experience as Tikkie. Completely tailored to the world of the new generation, designed specifically for teens and their parents.

Soon it will be available for everyone to download in the app stores. For now, people can sign up for the waitlist at buut.com. Stay informed, get early access, or even help test in the BUUT community. Do you want to help build this new bank?
