Our driving forces

|
enterprising bank The spirit of enterprise runs right through NIBC as a bank. Our clients, staff and products are characterised by innovation and dynamism. Our vision is clear: to be a leading merchant bank for mid-cap companies and a meaningful player in selected asset financing classes. |
enterprising clients Our clients are typically companies with an enterprise value of EUR 50-500 million, run by their founder or major shareholder or they have just moved beyond that phase. Their credit needs often require tailor-made products and services, which a nimble bank like NIBC can deliver in a cost-efficient way. Our clients’ size and management style require us to react fast and flexibly to their changing needs and wishes. |

|
innovative products and services Enterprising clients need enterprising products and services. We shape innovative solutions for corporate clients, financial institutions, institutional investors, financial sponsors, and high net worth entrepreneurs/owners. We’re not afraid to challenge our clients’ thinking: often we surprise them with an inventive product combination that they - and our rivals - hadn’t thought of. |
entrepreneurial employees Our employees go the extra mile. Energetic, entrepreneurial and proactive, they are dedicated to working closely with clients to deliver outstanding service. The emphasis is on action. And on a can-do culture that ensures the best results for the client and sustainable business growth for NIBC. |

|
client expertise Merchant Banking is one of our two strategic pillars. Its expertise is in helping its core client mid-cap companies grow, using our established ‘triple play’ model of advising, financing and co-investing. Our coverage bankers maintain long-term relationships with clients and use their knowledge and expertise to identify opportunities across all business units. |
asset expertise Specialised Finance, our second strategic pillar, is active in a select group of asset classes where its expertise gives it a competitive advantage. Those segments include corporate lending, leveraged finance, oil & gas services, infrastructure & renewable financing, real estate and shipping. |
|
|
nimble and flexible Our clients might discuss a loan one day and a merger the next. So we need to be nimble and flexible. With a lean, streamlined organisation and short decision lines, we are fast on our feet. We react swiftly and creatively to the demands of our clients’ evolving needs. |
from idea to implementation NIBC’s culture is one in which engaged, results-driven people live excellence. We are entrepreneurial in a disciplined way. We don’t just devise an innovative idea and leave the rest up to our clients. We are with them right through from idea to implementation. |
|
|
|
sustainable approach We develop solid, sustainable solutions. We have a culture of accountability in the broadest sense - from taking individual responsibility for performance to demonstrating Corporate Social Responsibility as an organisation. We strive to create long-term value rather than short-term gains, focusing on business that contributes to NIBC’s sustainable growth. |
true partnership Our bankers work together as an integrated operation - another virtue of our modest size. They unite in true cross-discipline teams that offer a broad array of integrated services to our clients. And the culture of teamwork runs right across the board: we cooperate closely with our clients in true partnership. |
