Wholesale banking

Rabobank’s wholesale/corporate banking division serves Dutch and international large corporates, commodity traders, private equity firms and financial institutions. We serve all sectors in the Netherlands and we are a worldwide leader in Food & Agri banking. With our Wholesale Banking activities we also contribute to sustainable welfare and prosperity in the Netherlands and the rest of the world. If we really believe in something, we go the extra mile where other investment banks quit. This is why we call it Wholesale Banking for Better.

We support both pillars of the Rabobank strategy:

  • Through Banking for the Netherlands, we contribute to sustainable welfare and prosperity in the Netherlands, in close cooperation with the Local Banks. 
  • Through Banking for Food, we contribute to feeding the world more sustainably, in close cooperation with our international Rural banking operations. 

Given our strong presence across all continents, we are perfectly positioned to serve the entire F&A value chain worldwide and to facilitate the international activities of our Dutch clients. Effectively, there is no other bank that is active internationally in all the major food-producing and consuming regions worldwide.

We see long-term and sustainable relationships with our clients as the heart of our business and our aim is to be the world’s most customer-centric bank. We support our clients by providing access to finance, our wide-ranging knowledge and expertise, plus our extensive worldwide network, through an array of sophisticated banking products and services. In other words, we provide our clients with the insights – and financial products - to understand, anticipate and respond to trends and opportunities in their markets, focus on their core business and achieve their growth ambitions.
