Frontpage localisation
& campaigns

Netherlands Landing Page

Saxo Bank acquired the Dutch bank Bink Bank in 2021. Creating the best possible transition for the many customers of Bink Bank was crucial for the success of the merger.

This is the localised, temporary frontpage for the new Dutch clients. A more down to earth visual language was used to match the tone of voice clients were used to at Bink Bank.
