Organization
Rabobank is more than just a bank. First of all, we are a cooperative – that is what sets us apart from other banks. Cooperative banking allows us to exert a more positive influence on people and society. This is important because major challenges shape the world we live in. Challenges like climate change, but also growing social and financial inequality. With our partners and members, Rabobank wants to contribute to positive change and promotes a more sustainable, inclusive society where everyone can pursue their ambitions.
We now operate in 38 countries, with over 43,000 employees. In the Netherlands, we serve retail and corporate clients with a wide range of financial products and services. Across the world, we focus on entrepreneurs and companies in the food and agriculture sectors. The Rabobank Group also includes BPD, Obvion and DLL, with which we offer our clients housing and leasing solutions.

Strategy
As a cooperative bank founded by farmers, Rabobank is rooted in society. We want to make a substantial contribution to solving the global food challenge: feeding a growing population long into the future. We also work to foster well-being and prosperity in the Netherlands. In order to achieve these goals, we focus on supporting our clients, their communities and the world around them. We do this using our knowledge, networks and financial solutions.
Innovation
Together, we work on sustainable solutions to society’s challenges – big and small. Without innovation, there is no progress because our services require constant improvement. But what does innovation mean exactly?
