43. Segment information
A segment is a part of BinckBank that either supplies specific products or services (i.e. a business segment) or
supplies products or services in a specific economic area (i.e. a geographical segment) and is exposed to
different risks and generates different revenues from other segments. The primary segmentation is based on
activity and the following business segments are identified: Retail and Professional Services. The Retail business
unit is a broker for private clients (mainly online brokerage). The Professional Services business unit provides
professional services in securities and derivatives transactions for professional investors in the Netherlands and
other countries, including much of the administrative effort. The secondary segmentation is geographical, with
a distinction being made between the operations in the Netherlands and those in other countries. Syntel
charged BinckBank4,690,000 in connection with services rendered. These costs have been eliminated in the
segment information presented below.
