Better for each other

About de Volksbank

De Volksbank is the parent company of SNS, ASN Bank, RegioBank and BLG Wonen. Being a bank with well over 3 million customers, we want to stand out by making a social impact on lives across the Netherlands. Banking is about more than just money. It’s a way of being of value. Not only for our own organisation and employees, our customers or shareholder, but for society as a whole; across the country, all year round. Together, we invest in a better Netherlands.

4 bank brands, 1 promise

‘Better for each other’ is our promise to people in the Netherlands. This is what we stand for together with our four bank brands and how we stand out in the banking sector. We deliver on this promise by banking with a human touch and by being of value to customers, employees, the shareholder and society in our business operations. In other words, ‘for each other’.

3.34 million customers

Our goal for 2025 is to be the bank with the strongest customer relationship and the largest proven social impact in the Netherlands; together with our four brands, i.e. SNS (1,620,000 customers), ASN Bank (786,000 customers), RegioBank (689,000 customers) and BLG Wonen (238,00 customers). By growing where possible. By investing and simplifying where necessary. Our brands are strengthening their social impact, their value to each other and to de Volksbank as a whole by sharing their successes.

Over 3,000 employees

De Volksbank has over 3,000 FTEs and is headquartered in Utrecht, adjacent to Utrecht Central Station. In addition to having offices in The Hague, Den Bosch, Groningen and Geleen, we have some 205 SNS shops and 477 RegioBank branch offices across the country.

Moving forward as one strong brand

At the end of 2024, we announced that de Volksbank, together with the brands SNS, ASN Bank, RegioBank and BLG Wonen, will become one strong retail brand. We will continue as ASN Bank: the bank that has acquired a strong position as a pioneer in sustainable and socially responsible banking since its foundation in 1960.

Of course, we will not achieve this transformation overnight. We will move to the new ASN Bank step by step. The transition starts in 2025 and is expected to be completed within three years. During this process, we will keep the customers of all our brands informed of the changes and what they mean for them.

Our strategy: from promise to impact

Our goal for 2025 is to be the bank with the strongest customer relationship and the largest proven social impact in the Netherlands. The question we constantly ask is: how will society benefit? That’s right, society as a whole. Because - especially as a bank - we can play a prominent role; with the help of all our employees, our four bank brands, customers and everyone else involved that is.

Have a look at our 2021 – 2025 strategy: From promise to impact.

Making impact. We have been doing so since our establishment as regional savings banks more than 200 years ago. By taking good care of Dutch people’s money. This social origin in particular - being rooted in local communities - is our strength. Just like our commitment to and connectivity with society, and with each other. Nowadays, we focus on payments, savings and mortgages for retail customers, entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises.
