Notes de l'éditeur
Rabobank is marktleider in:HypothekenSparenLenenVerzekeren (schade)En tweede:BetalenBeleggenPostbank/ING is marktleider qua fullservicebank/all finanzbank -> huisbankier (3 diensten of meer)Zijstap: All finanz huisbankier zijn zit dus niet in een duur advieskanaalDaarnaast is Rabobank toonaangevend en wint diverse prijzen zoals Beste Website maar ook voor CRM(implementatie), beste lokale KCC, marketing, sponsoring, iDeal, Rabo Mobiel (bestellen&betalen in de Horeca) etc.
Launch billboard ad.Pretty aggressive for a bank actually.Rabobank took Rabo Mobiel very seriously, in the formula, and above-the-line advertising too.
Three GSM “Mobile Network Operators” or MNOs (licence holders)
However, they also have alternate brands. There are many choices for Dutch mobile consumers.
All-in-all, the market in The Netherlands is an insanely competitive and commoditised market. Over 40 MVNOs/ESPs and MNO brands to choose from. Both positive and negative elements, naturally. Consumers are used to choosing alternate brands for mobile services, but it’s a noisy market.Differentiation is hard. Tariffs are very low. Handset subsidies still strongly define market offerings (consumers choose an operator based on the phone (free normally) and the in-bundle minute-pricing.
