Bank Van Breda
The customer
Bank Van Breda serves exclusively entrepreneurs and liberal professionals. They guide clients not only in growing their business, but also in making key financial decisions throughout their lives: from the first investment to retirement planning. The bank is known for its highly personal approach and its commitment to genuine, long-term customer relationships.
In IT, the main challenge lies in managing a wide range of initiatives simultaneously: regulatory compliance, security, modernization and innovation. Bank Van Breda relies on a dedicated team of 120 internal IT professionals, supported by select external partners, to meet these demands.
The case
Bank Van Breda and Euricom have partnered since the early 2000s, starting with the development of the bank’s first .NET applications. As technology evolved, so did the collaboration. Today, four Euricom consultants contribute to key strategic projects.
Kristof and Tom are part of the architecture team working on ‘New Sky’, a large-scale overhaul of the banking platform. They are making the system cloud-ready by transitioning to .NET Core and an API-first architecture. The front end is built with Blazor, complemented by MAUI components.
The team currently works with an internal cloud, while keeping future scalability in mind. They also ensure the platform is equipped to handle daily releases, no small feat for a banking environment.
In the lending team, Nils is optimizing applications that support the credit process. Thomas contributes to the development of advisory and investment tools, helping customers manage their assets more effectively.
“They are all team players who understand that technology is an enabler, not the objective. They excel at coaching and bring calm to complex processes.”

Our approach
Bank Van Breda values Euricom’s blend of technical excellence and personal connection. Our consultants integrate seamlessly into their teams, bringing expertise that strengthens the bank’s internal IT capacity.
There’s also a strong technical alignment. Bank Van Breda uses a central platform built on .NET Core and Blazor, with React for the online banking frontend and Azure for the data platform. Teams work with shared standards, enabling flexible and consistent collaboration.
“We consistently see above-average performance from the consultants you introduce, and their profiles fit our requirements exceptionally well.”
- Jan Vanderhallen, IT Director Bank Van Breda
The result
With Euricom’s support, Bank Van Breda accelerated progress on complex technical initiatives like the New Sky transition. Our consultants provide continuity, foster knowledge sharing, and reinforce internal teams. While individual contributions are hard to quantify in large-scale projects, their impact is clearly reflected in team dynamics and overall progress.
“When working with consultants, we value not only technical expertise but also the ability to coach and contribute beyond coding. That’s why we will continue our collaboration with Euricom in the coming years and expand it where needed, in line with our future plans.”
- Jan Vanderhallen, IT Director Bank Van Breda
