Customer integrity
Knowing the customer and the associated integrity risks is a priority in the financial sector.
The rules for customer integrity force banks to be able to explain the origin of their customers'
capital and assets. It became apparent at year-end 2011 that not all local Rabobanks were
conscientious enough in recording and reproducing integrity assessments for their customers.
In 2012, the local Rabobanks put in extra efforts to swiftly reorganise their customer integrity
files. These projects demanded a lot and caused an increase in workload and stress levels.
Despite all the efforts and the results that were achieved, a number of branches'files still
proved to be in some disarray at the end of the reporting period, so that the situation was
not yet as envisaged.
