Our purpose
As bank-insurer, our purpose is to help all our stakeholders realise their dreams and protect them.
We aspire at being far more than a bank and an insurance: we want to enable and protect the dreams of our clients. Even more: we want to inspire, boost and stimulate those who count on us, day after day.
What we do, we do it so that others can grow and achieve their respective goals: we enable our retail clients to plan and realise their projects, and help them to then protect them; we cooperate with our business clients so that they can grow and develop in the long term; we drive local economies so that communities can further develop, we offer services to their citizens, opportunities for their young people; we are preparing for tomorrow’s challenges, so that our current and future employees can develop their potential.
