Vision and values
Regardless of cyclical downturns, Credit Europe Bank NV has always been generally optimistic about the future of trade and commodity finance. Its growth bears witness to its successful business model and strategy. And because growth is a key objective for the future, we are continuously investing in our people and providing them with the most up-to-date IT systems.
We believe that commodity trade finance is a niche service, and as a committed bank in this area, we have the capacity and knowledge to operate successfully and offer our clients the best service possible.
The world of commodity trade is on the edge of far-reaching change, and our strong market position means that we can take opportunities to further expand our business. In particular, we are actively seeking and establishing relationships with professional parties and institutions active in commodity trade, that are in need of a bank that can provide them with specialized products and services.
In the field of direct retail banking in the Eurozone, we aim to further build upon our successful model, offering standard, easy-to-use and competitive products to our clients in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Malta. We operate efficiently, with centralized, cross-border operations and contact centers. Due to this low-cost structure we are able to be competitive, which has led to our solid growth over the last few years.
In the field of banking outside the Eurozone, our goal is to further consolidate our position in selected markets, such as Dubai, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland. Although short-term growth prospects may be limited in some of these areas, we are confident that our longer-term growth and value creation prospects are positive.
In all areas of the Bank, we invest in professionalism and expertise of our employees. All our employees share the same values, leading to a bank that is:
- Solid
- Client-focused
- Ambitious
- Efficient
- International
In order to sustain our long-term ambitions, we actively encourage and foster a sound risk-management culture, as well as a high level of compliance and transparent corporate governance. We believe that this strategy safeguards the interests of all stakeholders.
