Rabobank Group

As a cooperative, it is in our character to be inclusive. When it comes to the economy, Rabobank believes everyone should have equal opportunities to participate. This means making financial services accessible to all.

We develop banking services for specific client groups such as young people, the elderly, people with disabilities and entrepreneurs. We also support projects that enhance the independence of disadvantaged groups. In developing countries, we focus our activities on microfinance and developing sustainable production chains for coffee, cotton and cocoa.

The examples below demonstrate our commitment to economic inclusion:

Special needs banking
Rabobank has developed various tools that make banking easier for customers with special needs. These include easy-to-understand guides to internet banking on websites for young people and the elderly, and a talking ATM for people with visual impairments.

Diversity and equality
A local Rabobank has joined forces with some 40 private and public partners to promote diversity and equality in a region of the Netherlands. The initiative is run in conjunction with the local municipality, businesses and employment and care organisations. It aims to promote equal job opportunities for everyone within the region, and to help local companies create a more diverse workforce.
