Organisation Coach

Knab was founded in 2012 because we wanted to do things differently. Simpler, smarter and more advantageous for our customers. Because we believe we can help everyone maximize their financial affairs. "Feel at ease when it comes to your finances. Every day." Together with almost 550 colleagues, we create financial services that really meet our customers' needs. Add to that some of the sublime personal service from our employees and you end up with something that's truly unique to the world of finance!

In a nutshell
Our entire organization now consists of about 550 passionate colleagues, who all work on our purpose ‘let customer feel at ease when it comes to their finances, every day'. They form cross-functional teams, value streams & foundation streams that are responsible for building, maintaining, selling & servicing the bank and all its propositions, products & processes. Our core values describe how we treat each other and our customers. We are open, positive, human and entrepreneurial.
