As Rabobank works towards its goal of becoming
the leading wholesale bank in the Netherlands,
Jeroen Broeknellis, Director of Wholesale at member
bank Rabobank Schiphol, Jan van den Bogert,
Manager Corporate Banking at member bank
Rabobank Schiphol, and Hans van Hooren, Region
Manager Corporate Clients, region North West
Netherlands at Rabobank International, discuss
the support Rabobank International provides
to Rabobank Schiphol's corporate clients.
Rabobank Schiphol's
coverage area
includes the world's
largest flower
auction, in nearby
Aalsmeer.
Seamless cooperation between Rabobank International (Rl) and
the bank's stakeholders in the Netherlands is a critical element
in achieving sustainable market leadership in the country, one of
the strategie goals laid down by the Executive Board. For those
member banks whose corporate clients require wholesale banking
products, a close and fruitful relationship with Rl is already a
reality. With nine regional teams working across the Netherlands,
RI's Corporate Clients Netherlands department works on behalf
of, and in close cooperation with, the member banks.
Regional teams, such as the one headed by Hans van Hooren in
Amsterdam, act as linking pins between the member banks and
the products available within Rl. The teams help translate the
needs of clients from member banks and use their expertise to
try to find the right products internally, acting as guides. Strict
governance structures ensure that the member banks themselves
book all deals, which frees up Corporate Clients Netherlands
to concentrate on adding value through their expertise and
execution capabilities.
