History

Logo used before 2015

Nationale-Nederlanden was formed in a merger in 1963 between the De Nederlanden van 1845 (The Netherlands of 1845) and the Nationale Levensverzekeringsbank (National Life Insurance Bank). The result of the merger, because of the strong domestic position of Nationale and the international experience of De Nederlanden, was to set the company up for the future. Emerging computerisation was embraced, and other innovation costs were jointly borne by the combined companies. Cooperation strengthened the companies’ experience in group insurance and allowed Nationale-Nederlanden to expand its territory. In 1991 NN merged, this time, with the

mortgages
