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

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.
