The opening of the new premises clearly evidences Rabobank’s loyalty and commitment to our district.
Over the past few years, our district has unfortunately experienced a loss in banking services by the withdrawal of a number of institutions, but I can proudly say that such withdrawals were not occasioned through a lack of business or a lack of profitability that would reflect upon the fabric of our community, but rather was brought about by the fact that our community did not fit the business models of such institutions. Models that in the main proposed to do away with traditional face to face service and generally a decline in human interaction.
It is refreshing to see that there still remain corporations such as Rabobank that continue to value human interaction and provide that human touch for service delivery, as many of our community’s older demographic are accustomed to.
Thank you Rabobank for your dedication to our community and we are very glad to have you as part of our community.
