The project already under way, in which Fortis Bank and Fortis Insurance Belgium will join forces with BNP Paribas, in partnership with the Belgian and Luxembourg States, will continue as planned.
Its implementation will provide the stability and calm that Fortis needs in order to finance, insure and support the projects of all its clients companies and individuals in the service of the Belgian and Luxembourg economies. Joining forces with BNP Paribas, a solid European group with one of the three highest ratings in the world from Standard and Poor’s, puts an end to all uncertainty for customers and employees of Fortis. The new group formed in this way will be the euro-zone’s leading bank in terms of deposits.
Contacts in the field have convinced BNP
Paribas of the willingness of Fortis staff to commit themselves entirely to all their customers in order
to
make
the
new group a resounding success. BNP Paribas is committed to realise the project in accordance with the established conditions,
in
the
interests
of customers, employees and the Belgian and Luxembourg communities in general.
