Fortis
Company Information
About
The Fortis Company
Fortis
activities are organised in five businesses. The two insurance businesses
are divided geographically, while the three banking businesses are
organised according to specialisation (and hence are transnational
by nature).
Each
of these intensely customer-orientated businesses develops specific
products and services for its target group. The underlying principle
is that their product and service offering must be available to
the customer through a variety of channels at all times.
By giving the different businesses more autonomy, and by speeding
up decision-making processes at the same time, Fortis are able to
meet their customers’ requirements more effectively and more
rapidly.
Network

Fortis Bank provides financial services to retail customers, the
independent professions and to small and medium-sized enterprises.

on all forms of daily banking, saving, investment, credit and insurance
through a variety of distribution channels. Fortis also provides
retail banking services in France and Poland. Medium-sized enterprises
can choose from a uniform product and service offering, with the
same range of cross-border products, services and specialisms, at
the unique, integrated network of business centres throughout Europe.
