The organisation
What Rabobank does
Rabobank is a Dutch cooperative bank that grew out of local farmers' credit cooperatives founded in the late 19th century. Two central organisations, the Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Bank and the Coöperatieve Centrale Boerenleenbank, merged in 1972 to form what became known as Rabobank. Unlike most large banks, Rabobank is not listed on the stock exchange: it is owned by its network of local member banks rather than shareholders. Today it is one of the Netherlands' three large banks, with a strong position in retail banking, food and agribusiness financing, and corporate and wholesale banking. It also has an international network focused on food and agri clients.
