ASN focusses on socially responsible and sustainable investments.

ASN Bank was founded on May 1, 1960, by the union of Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging (Federation Dutch Labour Union) (FNV) and the insurance company de Centrale (now Reaal insurances).

[1] ASN Bank has experienced rapid growth in recent years, in terms of the number of customers, in terms of assets entrusted to the bank, etc.

Net profit has risen sharply since 2009, mainly due to the higher interest margin, the difference in interest on the borrowed and lent money.

In the period from 2009 to 2013, ASN Bank's contribution to social partners and the ASN Foundation increased from 0.6 million euros to 2.6 million.
