About us
Rabobank is a bank that is run for clients. Established in the Netherlands, we have grown to become an international financial services provider, active in the area of banking, capital management, leasing, insurance and real estate. We are a cooperative bank with a mission. Together with our stakeholders, we have been dedicated to creating a future-proof society and tackling major societal challenges for 125 years.
We are involved in what is going on in society. We contribute to strengthening our shared living environment and making it future-proof – so that people can make the choices that matter most to them, both now and in the future.
That is what our mission, “Growing a better world together,” represents: making the way in which we live and work more sustainable. To do that, we focus on three major global transitions: Food, climate and energy and the transition to a more inclusive society. Within those, we focus on five themes: Banking4Food, Sustainable entrepreneurship, Sustainable living, the Energy Transition and Financially healthy living.
In the Netherlands, we serve retail and corporate clients with a wide range of financial products and services. Globally we focus on the food and agriculture sector. We now operate in 38 countries, with over 43,000 employees. Across the world, we focus on entrepreneurs and companies in the food and agriculture sectors.

No matter where in the world you want to do business, we can offer you international support. Rabobank has a worldwide network of offices including 9 International Desks spread across 6 continents. If you do business outside the Netherlands, we still offer you a single point of contact at your local Rabobank.

The Rabobank Group also includes BPD, Obvion and DLL, with which we offer our clients housing and leasing solutions. Rabobank operates under multiple financial brands in different markets and countries. These brands complement each other and strengthen our offering to clients.

Startups and scale-ups are front runners for the economy due to their innovative power. They contribute significantly to solve societal challenges and are an important growth engine for the economy and employment in the Netherlands. This perfectly suits with our ambition. Rabobank wants to support innovative and fast-growing companies by building sustainable relationships and being a partner for their growth and success. We do this with the Startup & Scale-up Team and recently also via our new portal.
