history NIBC
NIBC originated from the Netherlands’ bank for post-war reconstruction, founded in 1945 by the Dutch government. This entity was renamed De Nationale Investeringsbank in 1971, and was bought in 1999 by ABP and PGGM, two of Europe’s largest pension funds. The acquisition and subsequent change in brand name to ‘NIB Capital’ marked the beginning of the bank’s evolution from what was essentially a long-term lending bank into a merchant bank providing integrated solutions with a focus on North-Western Europe. A new management team and experienced senior bankers led the transition towards the current business model based on an integrated approach and client coverage model used today. In December 2005, the bank changed hands when its current owners, a consortium of international financial institutions and investors organised by J.C. Flowers & Co., purchased all of the outstanding equity interests. As a result, NIBC Holding N.V. was formed. Subsequently the brand name was changed to ‘NIBC’.
