Confronted with the international financial crisis, Fortis has undergone a complete metamorphosis. Its Dutch banking and insurance activities have been acquired by the Dutch State. The other banking activities have been acquired by the Belgian State and will ultimately – together with the Belgian insurance activities – be acquired by BNP Paribas. By joining forces with BNP Paribas, one of Europe’s leading financial groups, they will be able to provide their customers with an even better service.
