Friesland Bank was a Dutch retail bank originally focusing on the northern provinces of the Netherlands, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, and North Holland. On 2 April 2012 Friesland Bank announced that it would become a 100% daughter of Rabobank Nederland after a merger plan with NIBC was blocked by De Nederlandse Bank.[1] This ended the era of a 100-year-old regional bank for the Northern Netherlands. In connection with the revocation of Friesland Bank N.V.'s banking license as of December 15, 2014, the name of Friesland Bank N.V. was changed to Friesland Zekerheden Maatschappij N.V.[2]
