Profile

Rabobank is a multinational cooperative banking and financial-services group headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands, tracing its roots to agricultural credit cooperatives founded in 1898, and taking its present form through the 1972 merger of two cooperative banking organisations. It began as a cooperative finance provider serving local markets and has maintained close ties to agriculture and the food industry. According to public data, its total assets were about €630 billion as of 2024, making it the Netherlands' second-largest bank by assets. As a leading global cooperative bank, it ranks among the world's top 300 cooperatives by turnover in the World Cooperative Monitor, and is a significant member of the International Co-operative Alliance system.
