Two Moroccan banks are planning to expand their activities in the Netherlands this year significantly, reports the Dutch newspaper Parool Wednesday afternoon.
Chaabi Bank, market leader in Morocco and the Attijariwafa Bank, the third bank in the country, have their Dutch headquarters in Amsterdam.
De Nederlandsche Bank still needs to give the Attijariwafa Bank permission to be active in the Netherlands.
The bank wants to open a separate department for Islamic banking, which no interest is calculated.
