Innovation in the digital age

Our services are not the same as they were ten years ago. We have developed all kinds of products and services that add value in the digital age. From mobile banking to Tikkie and New10 (in Dutch). But we’re innovating in other ways as well:

• We offer solutions to issue, store and trade in digital assets.

• We support digital platforms and environments with both traditional and innovative financial services.

Digital assets

Markets, regulations and technology are changing. These developments accelerate the use of Digital Assets and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): physical assets are converted into digital ones. In other words: tangible things are becoming digital resources. This brings advantages in efficiency, liquidity and accessibility.

DLT and digital assets are changing the way we transfer and manage value. You could compare it to the internet, which changed the way we store and share information. DLT and digital assets could transform our financial system. We’re helping clients navigate this 'new world’, by developing service models that allow them to issue, store and trade their digital assets.

Platforms and additional services

Clients increasingly need digital services. That's why we're exploring what role we as a bank can play in the digital economy. For example, by developing platforms ourselves. Or by offering (financial) value-added services through the digital environments of other parties.

We collaborate to innovate

Collaboration is essential for successful innovation. That's why we're always looking for partnerships. For example, we have:

• Invested in Motive Partners

• A partnership with Techstars

• Our own Doorpakken platform (in Dutch)

• Our own challengers – like New10, Franx and Tikkie
