Rabobank Group is a full-range financial services provider that operates on cooperative principles. Its origins lie in the local loan cooperatives that were founded in the Netherlands nearly 110 years ago by enterprising people who had virtually no access to the capital market.

Keypoints

One of Rabobank's core objectives is to create the highest possible customer value. Customer value is reflected in the degree of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Rabobank is critical of itself and is keen to learn from clients what it does well and what could be improved.

Strategy

Autonomous growth

Sustained autonomous growth is a leading factor in the strategic course that Rabobank Group aims to steer in the coming years. This strategy centres around our core competence: Food & Agribusiness.

History

Rabobank's roots lie in agriculture. In 1898 two separate cooperative banks - the Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Bank in Utrecht and the Coöperatieve Centrale Boerenleenbank in Eindhoven - were founded by enterprising rural folk, who, with little access to the capital market, decided to help one another.
