Dutch consumers and the economy as a whole stand to benefit from a varied range of financial products and services, which is why we welcome new and innovative parties on the market. A safe, innovative, reliable and responsible financial sector can contribute to sustainable prosperity in the Netherlands, which is what De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) seeks to achieve.

Authorisation or declaration of no-objection
Parties wishing to enter the financial market must have permission to do so, for example in the form of an authorisation. They can submit an application for authorisation to DNB. We will then check whether all applicable requirements have been met and whether the requested authorisation can be granted.
