The organisation
What BNG Bank does
BNG Bank was founded in 1914 by the Association of Dutch Municipalities as a credit institution to fund local government investment. Over time it grew into the Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten, and it has carried the name BNG Bank since 2018. The bank does not serve private customers: it exclusively finances the Dutch public sector, including municipalities, provinces, water boards, public housing corporations and healthcare and education institutions. Its shares are held half by the Dutch State and half by municipalities, provinces and a water board, reflecting its role as a public-sector financing institution rather than a commercial bank.

Structure
Divisions and where you work
BNG Bank is organised around lending to public-sector clients, treasury and capital markets funding, since the bank itself borrows extensively on international capital markets to fund its lending, and risk management. Finance graduates typically start in treasury, funding, credit or risk roles, working closely with public-sector clients and institutional investors.
