Profile

Fortis is an international provider of banking and insurance services to personal, business and institutional customers. We deliver a total package of financial products and services through our own high-performance channels and via intermediaries and other partners.

Fortis is a leader in financial services in the Benelux region – one of Europe’s wealthiest. Building on that leadership, we have developed an extensive European footprint in the retail banking market, operating through a variety of distribution channels. We offer financial services to companies, institutional clients and high net worth individuals and provide integrated solutions to the enterprise and the entrepreneur. Our unique expertise has made us a regional and in some cases global leader in niche markets, such as energy, commodities and transportation, and fund administration. We successfully combine our banking and insurance skills in growth markets in Europe and Asia, and we excel in bancassurance in several countries, like Belgium, Portugal and Malaysia.

Fortis ranks among Europe’s top 20 financial institutions, with a market capitalisation of EUR 40 billion at year-end 2007. Together with ABN AMRO, we have a presence in over 50 countries and a dedicated, professional workforce of more than 85,000. All this makes us a leader in financial services in Europe, a top 3 private banker and a top tier asset manager.
