ASN Bank financial services

ASN Bank (Algemene Spaarbank Nederland) is a prominent Dutch retail bank that specializes in sustainable and ethical banking. Founded in 1960 by the trade union federation NVV and the insurance company De Centrale, its primary mission has always been to foster social justice and environmental sustainability through financial services. Unlike traditional consumer goods, its 'manufacturing' or service delivery is based entirely in the Netherlands, where it operates under the Dutch banking license of its parent company.

Since 2017, ASN Bank has been a brand under de Volksbank, following a consolidation of several Dutch banking entities. De Volksbank is currently owned by the Dutch state through the NL Financial Investments (NLFI), although it operates as a commercial bank with a strong social focus. ASN Bank remains one of the leading names in the Netherlands for customers seeking transparency and ethical investment criteria, consistently ranking high in sustainability benchmarks within the European financial sector.
