Vincent Germyns, chairman of the Executive Board of BinckBank:
"'I am pleased with the financial results and the progress of our strategy in
the first half of this year. We have seen our income develop positively, and
together with our disciplined approach to cost control this led to a strong
increase in our adjusted net profit. This has enabled us to increase the interim
dividend to ? 0.14 per share compared to ? 0.10 per share in the previous year.
Our customer service has improved, with shorter telephone waiting times. Our
trading platform has provided optimal availability, even during periods of high
volatility in the financial markets and heavy trading volumes. The renewed app
for iOS and Android was well received in the Netherlands in the second quarter.
This app will soon be available in Italy and Belgium as well. We value the trust
and loyalty of our customers and we will continue to strive to offer our
customers good value with our robust and secure trading platform, training and
educational activities and our highly appreciated customer service.
With our focus on operational excellence, we are making good progress in
improving the organisation's effectiveness and efficiency and we are laying a
strong foundation for profitable growth in the longer term. The restructuring of
the organisation into uniform country units has made our management more direct
and ensures that we can offer a better service to our customers and independent
asset managers in our different countries, and this will give synergy benefits
and will allow us to focus more on our core activities."
