SUMMARY

The following summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in Product Supplement No. 2-III and in the accompanying Underlying Supplement No. 2-IV, Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in Product Supplement No. 2-III, which are summarized on page 8 of this Pricing Supplement. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities.

What are the Securities?

The Securities are senior notes issued by us, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent company, RBS Holdings N.V. The Securities are linked to performance of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, which we refer to as the Underlying Fund. The Securities have a maturity of 36 Months. The payment at maturity of the Securities is determined based on the performance of the Underlying Fund, subject to a cap, as described below. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Securities do not pay interest. If the fund return is less than 0% down to and including -10%, you will be entitled to receive only the principal amount of $1,000 per Security at maturity. In such a case, you will receive no return on your investment and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time. If the fund return is less than -10%, you will suffer a loss and you could lose up to 90% of your initial principal investment. If the fund return is 0% or positive you will receive the maximum redemption at maturity per security of $1,280.00, which represents a return of 28.00%. If the fund return is positive, your return on the Securities will be equal to the digital return of 28.00% regardless of how much or how little the price of the Underlying Fund may appreciate above the initial price. The digital return is a fixed amount. We call it a digital return because the digital return is either payable in full or it is not payable at all, like a digital switch that is either fully on or fully off.

Any payment on the Securities is subject to the creditworthiness (ability to pay) of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and RBS Holdings N.V. as guarantor.

What will I receive at maturity of the Securities and how is this amount calculated?

At maturity you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a cash payment calculated as follows:

(1) If the fund return is 0% or positive, $1,000 plus the digital return; or

(2) If the fund return is less than 0% down to and including -10%, $1,000; or

(3) If the fund return is less than -10%, then $1,000 plus (fund return + 10%) × 1,000.

Accordingly, if the fund return is less than -10%, at maturity you will receive less than the principal amount of $1,000 per Security and you could lose up to 90% of your initial principal investment. If the fund return is 0% or positive, you will never receive a payment at maturity greater than the maximum redemption at maturity of $1,280.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

What are the fund return, the digital return and the maximum redemption at maturity and how are they calculated?

The fund return is the percentage change in the price of the Underlying Fund, over the term of the Securities, calculated as:

Final Price – Initial Price

Initial Price

where,

the initial price is the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the pricing date; and

the final price is the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the determination date.

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND N.V.

Digital Buffer Securities

The digital return is $280 (or 28.00%) per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

The maximum redemption at maturity is $1,280.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, which is equivalent to a return of 28.00% on your initial principal investment. The digital return is fixed so that regardless of how much or how little the fund return may appreciate above the initial price, you will never receive more than $1,280.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities at maturity. Similarly, if the final price is equal to the initial price you will receive $1,280.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities at maturity.

Will I receive interest payments on the Securities?

No. You will not receive any interest payments on the Securities.

Will I get my principal back at maturity?

The Securities are not fully principal protected. Subject to the creditworthiness of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., as the issuer of the Securities, and RBS Holdings N.V., as the guarantor of the issuer’s obligations under the Securities, you will receive at maturity at least $100 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, regardless of the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the Determination Date. If the fund return is less than -10% over the term of the Securities, you will lose some of your initial principal investment and you could lose as much as 90% of your initial principal investment.

However, if you sell the Securities prior to maturity, you will receive the market price for the Securities, which could be zero. There may be little or no secondary market for the Securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities until maturity.

Can you give me examples of the payment at maturity?

Example 1: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial price is $45.00, the final price is $60.00 and the digital return is $280.00, then the fund return would be calculated as follows:

Final Price – Initial Price

Initial Price

$60.00 – $45.00 = 33.33%

$45.00

In this hypothetical example, the fund return is positive. Therefore, the payment at maturity will be $1,000 plus the digital return of $280.00 or a total payment of $1,280 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. In this hypothetical example, the fund return was 33.33% but you would have received a return of 28.00% over the term of the Securities.

Example 2: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial price is $45.00, the final price is $46.00 and the digital return is $280.00, then the fund return would be calculated as follows:

Final Price – Initial Price

Initial Price

$46.00 – $45.00 = 2.22%

$45.00

In this hypothetical example, the fund return was 2.22% but you would have received a return of 28.00% over the term of the Securities. If the fund return is positive, you will receive the digital return regardless of how much or how little the fund return appreciates over the initial price. Similarly, if the fund return is 0% you will receive the digital return.

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND N.V.

Digital Buffer Securities

Example 3: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial price is $45.00 and the final price is $42.00, then the fund return would be calculated as follows:

Final Price – Initial Price

Initial Price

$42.00 – $45.00 = -6.66%

$45.00

In this hypothetical example, the fund return is negative. Since the fund return is less than 0% but more than -10% you would receive, at maturity, the principal amount of $1,000 per Security.

In this hypothetical example, the fund return was -6.66% and you would not have lost any of your initial principal investment because the fund return was negative but not less than -10%. In this hypothetical example you would not have received any return on your initial principal investment and you would not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.

Example 4: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial price is $45.00 and the final price is $30.00, then the fund return would be calculated as follows:

Final Price – Initial Price

Initial Price

$30.00 – $45.00 = -33.33%

$45.00

In this hypothetical example, the fund return is negative and is less than -10%. Therefore, payment at maturity will be calculated as:

$1,000 + [(fund return + 10%) × $1,000]

$1,000 + [(-33.33% + 10%) × $1,000] = $766.70

Therefore, in this hypothetical example, you would receive at maturity a total payment of $766.70 for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities. In this hypothetical example, the fund return was -33.33% but you would have lost 23.30% of your initial principal investment over the term of the Securities.

These examples are for illustrative purposes only. It is not possible to predict the final price of the Underlying Fund on the determination date or at any other time during the term of the Securities. The initial price is subject to adjustment as set forth in “Description of Securities — Discontinuance of the Underlying Fund; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the related Product Supplement.

In this Pricing Supplement, we have also provided under the heading “Hypothetical Return Analysis of the Securities at Maturity” the total return of owning the Securities through maturity for various closing prices of an Underlying Fund on the determination date.

Is there a limit on how much I can earn over the term of the Securities?

Yes. If the Securities are held to maturity and the Underlying Fund is unchanged or appreciates, the total amount payable at maturity per Security is capped at $1,280.00. This means that if the final price is equal to the initial price you will receive the digital return. If the Underlying Fund appreciates, no matter how much the Underlying Fund may appreciate above the initial price, your return on the Securities will never exceed 28.00%.

Digital Buffer Securities

What is the minimum required purchase?

You may purchase Securities in minimum denominations of $1,000 or in integral multiples thereof.

Is there a secondary market for Securities?

The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and, as such, information regarding independent market pricing for the Securities may be extremely limited. You should be willing to hold your Securities until the maturity date.

Although it is not required to do so, we have been informed by our affiliate that when this offering is complete, it intends to make purchases and sales of the Securities from time to time in off-exchange transactions. If our affiliate does make such a market in the Securities, it may stop doing so at any time.

In connection with any secondary market activity in the Securities, our affiliate may post indicative prices for the Securities on a designated website or via Bloomberg. However, our affiliate is not required to post such indicative prices and may stop doing so at any time. Investors are advised that any prices shown on any website or Bloomberg page are indicative prices only and, as such, there can be no assurance that any trade could be executed at such prices. Investors should contact their brokerage firm for further information.

In addition, the issue price of the Securities includes the selling agents’ commissions paid with respect to the Securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities. The cost of hedging includes the profit component that our affiliate has charged in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging of the transactions. The fact that the issue price of the Securities includes these commissions and hedging costs is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the Securities. See “Risk Factors — The Inclusion of Commissions and Cost of Hedging in the Issue Price is Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” and “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-III.

What is the relationship between The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., RBS Holdings N.V. and RBS Securities Inc.?

RBS Securities Inc., which we refer to as RBSSI, is an affiliate of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and RBS Holdings N.V. RBSSI will act as calculation agent for the Securities, and is acting as agent for this offering. RBSSI will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate. See “Risk Factors — Potential Conflicts of Interest between Holders of Securities and the Calculation Agent” and “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-III.

Tell me more about The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and RBS Holdings N.V.

The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. is the new name of ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

RBS Holdings N.V. is the new name of ABN AMRO Holding N.V.

On February 6, 2010, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. changed its name to The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and on April 1, 2010 ABN AMRO Holding N.V. changed its name to RBS Holdings N.V.

The name changes are not changes of the legal entities that will issue and guarantee, respectively, the Securities referred to herein, and the name changes do not affect any of the terms of the Securities. The Securities will continue to be issued by The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.’s parent company, RBS Holdings N.V.

While the name “ABN AMRO Bank N.V.” is used by a separate legal entity, which is owned by the State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”), neither the separate legal entity named ABN AMRO Bank N.V. nor the Dutch State will, in any way, guarantee or otherwise support the obligations under the Securities.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks of the Securities to which this Pricing Supplement relates and whether these Securities are suited to your particular circumstances before deciding to purchase them. It is important that prior to investing in these Securities you read the Underlying Supplement No. 2-IV and Product Supplement No. 2-III related to such Securities and the accompanying Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement to understand the actual terms of and the risks associated with the Securities. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities.

Market Risk, Capped Return

If the fund return is less than 0% down to -10%, you will be entitled to receive only the principal amount of $1,000 per Security at maturity. In such a case, you will receive no return on your investment and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time. If the fund return decreases more than 10%, you could lose up to 90% of your initial principal investment. If the fund return is zero (0%) or positive, your return will be limited to 28.00% regardless of how much the Underlying Fund may appreciate above its initial price.

Credit Risk

The Securities are issued by RBS N.V. and guaranteed by RBS Holdings N.V., RBS N.V.’s parent company. As a result, investors in the Securities assume the credit risk of RBS N.V. and that of RBS Holdings N.V. in the event that RBS N.V. defaults on its obligations under the Securities. This means that if RBS N.V. and RBS Holdings N.V. fail, become insolvent, or are otherwise unable to pay their obligations under the Securities, you could lose some or all of your initial principal investment. Any obligations or Securities sold, offered, or recommended are not deposits of RBS N.V. and are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank or thrift, nor are they insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any governmental agency.

Although We Are a Bank, the Notes Are Not Bank Deposits and Are Not Insured or Guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, The Deposit Insurance Fund or any Other Government Agency

The Notes are our obligations but are not bank deposits. In the event of our insolvency the Notes will rank equally with our other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and will not have the benefit of any insurance or guarantee of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, The Deposit Insurance Fund or any other governmental agency.

Principal Risk

Return of principal on the Securities is only guaranteed up to $100 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. Any payment required by the terms of the Securities is subject to our creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of Holding. If the fund return decreases by more than 10% during the term of the Securities, the amount of cash paid to you at maturity will be less than the principal amount of the Securities, subject to a minimum return of $100 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

Liquidity Risk

The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and information regarding independent market pricing of the Securities may be very limited or non-existent. The value of the Securities in the secondary market, if any, will be subject to many unpredictable factors, including then prevailing market conditions.

It is important to note that many factors will contribute to the secondary market value of the Securities, and you may not receive your full principal back if the Securities are sold prior to maturity. Such factors include, but are not limited to, time to maturity, the price of the Underlying Fund, volatility and interest rates.

In addition, the price, if any, at which our affiliate or another party is willing to purchase Securities in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the issue price, since the issue price included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions, discounts or mark-ups paid with respect to the Securities, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities.

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND N.V.

Digital Buffer Securities

Holdings of the Securities by Our Affiliates and Future Sales

Certain of our affiliates may purchase for investment the portion of the Securities that has not been purchased by investors in a particular offering of Securities, which initially they intend to hold for investment purposes. As a result, upon completion of such an offering, our affiliates may own up to 15% of the aggregate face amount of the Securities. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those of our affiliates could be in conflict with your interests. For example, our affiliates may attempt to sell the Securities that they had been holding for investment purposes at the same time that you attempt to sell your Securities, which could depress the price, if any, at which you can sell your Securities. Moreover, the liquidity of the market for the Securities, if any, could be substantially reduced as a result of our affiliates holding the Securities. In addition, our affiliates could have substantial influence over any matter subject to consent of the security holders.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including acting as calculation agent. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities. While the Securities are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the Securities, including in the stocks that comprise the Underlying Fund or instruments related to the Underlying Fund. We or our affiliates may also trade in the stocks that comprise the Underlying Fund or instruments related to the Underlying Fund or the stocks that comprise the Underlying Fund from time to time. Any of these activities could affect the price of the Underlying Fund and, therefore, the value of the Securities.

You Will Not Receive Interest Payments on the Securities or Have Rights in the Stocks that Comprise the Underlying Fund

You will not receive any interest payments on the Securities. As an owner of the Securities, you will not have rights that holders of the stocks that comprise the Underlying Fund, including the right to vote or receive dividends.

Uncertain Tax Treatment

You should review carefully the section of the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-III entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Although the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities are uncertain, we believe it is reasonable to treat the Securities as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on current law, under this treatment you should not recognize taxable income prior to the maturity of your Securities, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange, and your gain or loss on the Securities should be capital gain or loss, and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Securities for more than one year. If, however, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Securities could be affected materially and adversely. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment described in this Pricing Supplement and the accompanying Product Supplement.

In December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may include the Securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

We do not provide any advice on tax matters. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice), as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Recent Tax Developments

Recently enacted legislation requires certain individuals who hold “debt or equity interests” in any “foreign financial institution” that are not “regularly traded on an established securities market” to report information about such holdings on their U.S. federal income tax returns, generally for tax years beginning in 2011, unless a regulatory exemption is provided. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding this legislation.

The following table illustrates potential return scenarios on a Security that is held to maturity by an investor who purchases the Securities on the original issue date. The information in the table is based on various assumptions, including hypothetical prices of the Underlying Fund, set forth below. We cannot, however, predict the price of the Underlying Fund on the determination date or at any other time in the future. Therefore, the table set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and the returns set forth may not be the actual returns applicable to a holder of the Securities. Moreover, the Underlying Fund may not appreciate or depreciate over the term of the Securities in accordance with any of the hypothetical prices below, and the size and frequency of any fluctuations in the price of the Underlying Fund over the term of the Securities, which we refer to as the volatility of the Underlying Fund, may be significantly different than the volatility implied by the information in the table

(a)	The fund return for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities will be equal to:

Final Price – Initial Price

Initial Price

where,

•

the initial price is the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the pricing date; and

•

the final price is the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the determination date.

(b)	This column shows the cash return you would receive if there were no buffer and no digital return and your payment at maturity directly reflected the performance of the Underlying Fund. The digital return is $280.00 and the buffer is 10%.

(c)	At maturity you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a cash payment calculated as follows:

(1)

if the fund return is 0% or positive, $1,000 plus the digital return;

(2)

if the fund return is less than 0% and down to and including -10%, $1,000; and

(3)

if the fund return is less than -10%, $1,000 plus [(fund return + 10%) x $1,000].

The Securities are not fully principal protected. If the fund return is less than -10% you could lose up to 90% of your initial principal investment. In addition, you will never receive a payment at maturity greater than $1,280.00.

(d)	The total return presented is exclusive of any tax consequences of owning the Securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding whether owning the Securities is appropriate for your tax situation. See the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Taxation” in this Pricing Supplement.
