Dutch Banking Association

Banks play a key role in our society, money being a ubiquitous commodity that is linked to almost anything we do: at work, in private life, and in many other situations. The banking industry plays a crucial role in this. Mission The Dutch Banking Association (Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken, NVB) represents the common interests of the Dutch banking sector. Banks are important for everyone. We are the connecting link between the banking sector, politics and stakeholders. Together with these parties, we work pro-actively on a service-oriented, stable and competitive banking sector. Tasks There are many subjects that transcend the importance of individual banks. The diversity of interlocutors, the great European importance and the constantly changing landscape in which the banking industry operates require a combination of forces. This is why the Dutch Banking Association consults with the regulatory authorities, the Dutch government and many social organisations and interest groups. Collective bargaining on behalf of the banking sector is also part of NVB's portfolio. To represent the banks' interest at the European level, NVB is a member of the European Banking Federation (EBF). Read more at: www.nvb.nl/en/association/272/dutch-banking-association.html
