[edit] Only private bank with AAA-rating untrue

I propose to remove the marketing speech of "only private bank with AAA-rating". This is non NPOV (see eg [1]). There will probably be other examples but even this one example makes the statement untrue. BFunk 09:35, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Actually the ZKB is NOT a private bank. [2] The bank is owned by the Canton and has financial guarantees from the Canton government. There are several other state backed banks that have a AAA or AAA+ (depending on the rating agency). As far as I am concerned the Rabobank is in fact the only privately held (i.e. not publicly tradable) bank with a AAA rating. Chelman 13:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Andre: Also, the reference does not resolve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.170.46.44 (talk) 10:40, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

I replace the reference [3] with one that does Nil Einne 00:08, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rabobank Group N.V.

The name of the mother-company of the Rabobank is the Rabobank Group N.V.. The structure given in the lemma is too simple. There are a lot of local Rabobanks in the Netherlands, which are coöperated in "Rabobank Nederland B.V." (not sure about B.V. it might be as well N.V.) This is a part of the Rabobank Group N.V., which includes as well the foreign banks. So the title of the lemma is not correct if you say that the Rabobank has offices all over the world. See also: the site of the Rabobank Group N.V., sometimes said as Rabogroup. IMHO there should be two lemma's, one about the Rabobank, the structure of these banks in the Netherlands, and a lemma about Rabobank Group NV, the mothercompany, which operates all over the world.

[edit] merge article to main article

Is there any justification that Rabobank Direct Betalen have a separate article?

merge to main article and IDEAL --Shuki 22:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Het is tijd voor de Rabobank"

That nice little box at the top right of the article says Rabobank has no slogan. However, I remember hearing "Het is tijd voor de Rabobank" (it's time for Rabobank) very often - the Rabobank site also has the phrase at the bottom right on each page of their site. I'm pretty sure that's their slogan. VDZ (talk) 18:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
