Paulus de Wilt, CEO of NIBC Bank:

"The acquisition of Gallinat-Bank very well matches NIBC's capabilities and perfectly fits in our strategy of increasing our footprint in Germany, our second domestic market. NIBC has grown its client base and its services since its establishment in Germany. NIBC has been looking for an opportunity to further build on its successes in the growing German market. It once again emphasises our commitment to this market."
