"Match made in heaven"
Successful takeover of HNS Banco
Rabobank has been operating in Chile since 1994. But the realisation slowly grew that the company
should take a firmer position in this economically promising region. This resulted in the takeover of
the locally respected HNS Banco on 30 April 2007. Thos Gieskes, CEO of Rabobank Chile, explains
how it happened, and how Chileans and Rabobank employees are reaping the benefits.
