the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
Rabobank Group is a financial service
provider founded on cooperative principles
and pursues an all-finance concept.
The domestic retail business of the local
Rabobanks is at the core of this. The concept
is complemented by the specialist know
ledge and activities of other Group units.
The activities of these units comprise:
- wholesale banking - both in the
Netherlands and throughout the rest of
the world - with particular focus on the
(international) food agri sector;
- international retail banking;
- asset management and investment;
- leasing;
- real estate;
- insurance.
Thanks to the close collaboration between
the Group units there is a high degree of
synergy within Rabobank Group: in other
words, the whole is greater than the sum
of the parts.
