ABN AMRO Mortgage Group Production Tops $8 Billion in September

    ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc.
(AAMG), the nation's fifth largest mortgage lender, today released its third
quarter production figures as well as production for the month ended
September 30, 2003, for all of its production divisions.
    AAMG reported September 2003 production of $8.3 billion, with more than
48,000 loans funded.  AAMG's production for the third quarter (July 1, 2003
through September 30, 2003) totaled $36 billion.  Year-to-date (January 1,
2003 through September 30, 2003), AAMG's production totaled $108.2 billion.
    "While recent increases in market interest rates have dampened customer
demand, especially in the area of refinances, AAMG's year-to-date production
is still up 38 percent from this same time last year," said Mike Maher, group
senior vice president.  "With only a few months remaining in the year, AAMG is
well positioned to exceed 2002's record-breaking production total.  To
maintain production levels, AAMG will continue to significantly expand its
community bank initiative, InterFirstlink, as well as its OneFee guaranteed
mortgage package."

   Production derived from each of AAMG's five business channels:
