Committed to food and agriculture

From humble beginnings 110 years ago as a rural credit cooperative founded by Dutch farmers seeking access to fair and reliable sources of credit, Rabobank has grown to become one of the world’s 20 largest financial institutions (based on tier one capital). Today, the bank has more than 1600 offices and branches in 43 countries, with over nine million clients worldwide. The bank has 51 branches throughout Australia, six of which are located in South Australia.

As part of the world’s leading food and agribusiness bank, Rabobank is uniquely placed to leverage vast international resources to provide our local clients with benefits that go far beyond traditional banking services.

With a strong focus on agribusiness research and analysis, Rabobank is also able to offer clients unprecedented access to our global knowledge bank, world-renowned sector specialists, highly regarded commodity analysts and visiting experts.

Through our dedicated Food & Agribusiness Research team, we are committed to actively distributing this knowledge through a number of industry leading initiatives which
include global research reports, active involvement in strategic industry advisory bodies and by running primary producer business management programs.

Rabobank’s focus on food and agribusiness has ensured that the Rabobank Group was one of the few banks to report profit growth in 2008 and we are proud to this year again be reaffirmed among the top five safest banks in the world by Global Finance magazine.
