What our clients say

  • MCI Group
    "We met RBI for the first time in 2019 while we were looking for fund financing. Instead of being 'pushed' to products or structures as with other providers, RBI listened carefully. From the very beginning we had the impression to be working together on the best possible products for us and for our mutual success. The RBI team is caring and partner like, super professional, motivated and efficient. Each RBI individual we had the pleasure to meet was involved, helpful and qualified irrespective of the matter we worked on. We are currently developing our relation in other business areas."
  • Bright Capital
    "We value RBI as a reliable long-term partner that has supported Bright Capital since the first fund generation. In particular, we appreciate the personal relationship with the institutional clients team and RBI’s innovative product range with tailor-made solutions for investment firms and asset managers, especially with regards to ESG matters supporting our focus on sustainable investments. By implementing RBI’s ESG-linked fund finance, we are aligning our business and our strategy for long-term sustainable value creation in our funds and portfolio companies."
  • Innova Capital
    "We cooperate with RBI for years building an effective partnership.

We look forward to strengthening our relationship with RBI."
