For the new venture, EBI will provide the editorially independent content and industry-specific services and Rabobank will provide financial services such as business internet banking, Rabo Direct Payments and electronic Letters of Credit.
Rabobank’s experience with its own financial site, as well as with Tref.nl, makes it a strong partner for EBI for the further development of zibb.nl. Both parties are leaders in the provision of services for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Combining their knowledge in zibb.nl will produce a powerful service for SMEs in the Netherlands.
The importance of zibb.nl remaining a unified site with a clear distinction between editorially independent information and commercial messages was stressed by Peter de Monnink, EBI’s internet director. We will soon offer our visitors a unique combination of information, services and transaction features on one site, he explained.
