Fortis' history
Each of the companies that together make up Fortis has a strong reputation and often a rich history as well. Fortis itself arose in 1990 out of the merger of the Dutch combination AMEV/VSB with Belgium's largest insurer AG. It was the first cross-border merger in the financial sector. Since then Fortis has grown considerably, mainly in the Benelux and the United States, not only by making large investments in acquisitions but also by developing further under its own steam.

Fortis' vision
Fortis companies are strongly rooted in the society of each country in which they carry on business. As a result they know what their customers want and are able to provide good, tailor-made products and services. Fortis companies have a large degree of independence, guaranteeing the endurance of this local involvement. What makes Fortis strong as a group is the combining of the strengths of its companies. They work very closely together to continually update and further improve the services they provide to their customers. They use their combined strengths, their knowledge and experience to deliver distinctive, innovative solutions. They do not merely meet expectations, they exceed them.
