Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken is the representative association for banks operating in the Netherlands. Its approximately 60 members - nearly all banks active in the country - include both Dutch and foreign institutions. The organisation maintains a staff of roughly 60 professionals working from its Amsterdam Zuidas headquarters.
The association represents the collective interests of its members through advocacy and lobbying on banking sector issues. It serves as a central information hub for members and stakeholders, providing relevant updates and analysis on matters affecting Dutch banking. The NVB functions as a meeting place and dialogue facilitator, bringing together banks, government, business and civil-society organisations to address policy and industry challenges.
The organisation's stated mission centres on building a prosperous, sustainable and inclusive society alongside a future-proof banking sector. This dual focus shapes its dialogue facilitation work, which addresses both banking sector interests and broader societal objectives. The NVB's 12-member board is appointed by the General Members' Meeting.
