Opportunities

There is scope for expansion in BinckBank's current services and the company is well placed to achieve international organic growth in Europe. Because many major banks do not consider online brokerage to be part of their core business, there are good opportunities for these services in Europe. The same applies to BPO services. The best-execution project in conjunction with Optiver offers the prospect of further reductions in the cost per transaction (stock exchange charges).
