Among the World's Safest Banks

A global financial leader for more than 100 years, Rabobank Group is among the world's safest commercial banks, according to Global Finance magazine.

A Rich History

• Rabobank was founded in the 1890s by farmers as a small cooperative of banks serving their rural communities. The cooperative model was designed to provide a fair and reliable source of credit to local customers through a system of shared liabilities, pooled resources, and reservation of profits.
• Rabobank expanded its business scope and geographic presence throughout the 20th century, adding a broader range of banking and financial services to meet the needs of its customers in the Netherlands and internationally.
• Even as the bank grew into one of the world's largest financial institutions, the Rabobank Group has remained a cooperative organization - operating on the same principles, and dedicated to serving our customers and their communities.

About Our Name and Logo

Pronounced RAH' boh bank, our unique name is derived from two banking cooperatives that began operating in the Netherlands at the end of the 19th century:

• The Cooperative Association of Raiffeisen Banks
• The Cooperative Central Boerenleenbank (in English: Farmer's Credit Bank)

These banks merged in 1972 to form a single cooperative bank: Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen Boerenleenbank BA. The Ra from Raiffeisen and Bo from Boerenleenbank were merged into the new entity Rabobank.

Our sundial logo symbolizes how Rabobank stands by customers as their needs change over time - helping them achieve their financial goals at every stage of life. The people, businesses, and communities we serve will always be at the heart of our business.

We stand by our customers over time.
