Rabobank

HELPING GROW A BETTER NEW ZEALAND TOGETHER

Rabobank is New Zealand’s only specialist food and agribusiness bank. Food and agri is in our DNA. We were set up in the Netherlands over 120 years ago as a cooperative – by farmers, for farmers. Today we operate in 38 countries and we’re among the world’s 30 largest financial institutions. Here in New Zealand, we have a single focus on supporting Kiwi farmers, growers and food producers. Our 500 employees work from 27 offices in places like Ashburton, Pukekohe and Feilding and from our purpose-built head office in Hamilton which opened in late 2021. Overall, Rabobank’s strategy is to become New Zealand’s leading food an agri bank – building on both our broad global connections and our strong New Zealand networks.
