About BNG

For more than a hundred years, BNG has stood shoulder to shoulder with the public sector in the Netherlands. We strengthen social organisations with financial clout. Not to maximise profits, but to make an impact. A positive impact.

Making a difference together

Our motivation? A greener and more social Netherlands. As a committed partner, we offer more than just financing. We share knowledge, contribute ideas and work together to build solutions that matter. Together with our customers, we make a difference. Today, tomorrow and for generations to come. 

Our approach

We are one of the three safest banks in the world and a stable and connecting force behind positive change. With a strong capital and liquidity position, we support municipalities, educational institutions, housing associations, public organisations and healthcare institutions in their social and sustainable ambitions, from the first idea to complete transformations.  

Every euro we invest must contribute to a more climate-neutral and social Netherlands. We continuously look for opportunities in the financial landscape, improve our services and strengthen our role as a connecting force. Together with customers, investors and shareholders, we are building a better living environment, step by step. 

 

Safe bank

With a Triple-A rating, we are the safest bank in the Netherlands. Customers and investors can rely on us. We guarantee security and stability.  

Our strategic goals focus on maintaining substantial market shares and meeting more than half of the credit demand from local authorities, housing associations and healthcare institutions. Through transparency and cooperation with partners such as the European Investment Bank, we reinforce our commitment to social progress and sustainability.
