What SBR Nexus does

SBR Nexus is a Dutch business data exchange platform operated by Financiële Rapportages Coöperatief B.A. (FRC), a cooperative established in December 2009 by the three largest Dutch banks — ABN AMRO, ING, and Rabobank — and headquartered in Abcoude, Netherlands. The platform functions as the Dutch market standard for standardized, secure transmission of business data between companies, organizations, and financial institutions using the SBR (Standard Business Reporting) framework with XBRL as the underlying structured data format. Core infrastructure consists of the Bancaire Infrastructurele Voorzieningen (BIV) for receiving, validating, and forwarding reports, supplemented by domain-specific taxonomies (Financierentaxonomie FT20, Vastgoedtaxonomie VT17, Agro Taxonomie AGT) that define data standards across financial reporting, real estate, and agriculture.

The product portfolio spans five primary data products: SBR Jaarrekening (annual accounts in XBRL, mandatory for bank submissions from January 1, 2026), ESG Data Exchange (launched 2025, covering Real Estate, Agricultural, and Transport sectors), SBR Huurinformatie (rental information from Property Management Systems), Standaard Bankverklaring (standard bank declarations via a dedicated SBV portal), and SBR Taxatierapport (structured appraisal reports). Users access the platform through the Aanleveren Portaal, the SBV Portal, or the Mijn Data Mijn Business portal (targeted at NOAB offices), authenticated via eHerkenning (EH3 minimum) for business users and iDIN for individuals.

SBR Nexus operates a multi-sided B2B2B business model, generating revenue from managed infrastructure services to financial institutions, software vendor onboarding/licensing, and transaction-based fees (notably a PDF-to-XBRL conversion service run via partner Pro Management / SBR Service Centrum). The platform connects eight Dutch banks and a broad ecosystem of accounting, PMS, and appraisal software vendors, with no public pricing disclosed. Cooperative ownership by the three founding banks means the entity is structured for industry-wide standardization rather than venture-scale returns, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

SBR Nexus operates a Dutch standardized business data exchange platform that enables companies, accountants, property managers, and appraisers to submit financial and business reports to banks in structured XBRL format. The platform operates the Bancaire Infrastructurele Voorzieningen (BIV) for receiving, validating, and forwarding Standard Business Reporting (SBR) reports to participating financial institutions, supporting data products including annual accounts, rental information, appraisal reports, ESG data, and standard bank statements.

Product overview

SBR Nexus is a platform operated by the Financiële Rapportages Coöperatief (FRC) — a cooperative backed by ABN AMRO, ING, and Rabobank — that serves as the Dutch market standard for exchanging structured business data between companies and financial institutions. The offering comprises a central data exchange platform and multiple specialized data products: SBR Jaarrekening (annual reports in XBRL format, with three variants for natural persons, legal entities, and limited legal entities), ESG Data Exchange (covering real estate, agriculture, and transport sectors, launched in 2025), SBR Huurinformatie (rental information via connected PMS systems), Standaard Bankverklaring (standard bank statements via a dedicated SBV portal), and SBR Taxatierapport (appraisal reports in XBRL). Supporting these data products are taxonomies (Financierentaxonomie FT20, Vastgoedtaxonomie VT17, Agro Taxonomie AGT) that serve as the structural blueprints for each data domain. Users access the infrastructure primarily through the Aanleveren Portaal (aanleveren.sbrnexus.nl) for general data submission, the SBV Portal (sbv.sbrnexus.nl) for bank statement requests, or app.mijndatamijnbusiness.nl (Mijn Data, Mijn Business) for NOAB office submissions. The platform validates and routes data to receiving banks, but does not store or assess the substantive content of submitted reports.

Direct peers

• Workiva: Workiva provides a cloud platform for connected regulatory and financial reporting built on XBRL, directly analogous to SBR Nexus's standardized reporting infrastructure for financial institutions and regulated entities.

Broad incumbents

• Wolters Kluwer: Wolters Kluwer operates broad finance, risk, and regulatory compliance software for banks and corporates, overlapping with SBR Nexus's regulatory reporting and compliance data exchange capabilities but at a global scale and across many adjacent products.
• SWIFT: SWIFT operates a global bank-to-bank financial messaging network, comparable to SBR Nexus's role as a bank-aligned data exchange infrastructure, though at much greater scale and with cross-border rather than domestic focus.

Emerging players

• Plaid: Plaid provides connectivity infrastructure between financial institutions and software applications, conceptually similar to SBR Nexus's two-sided bank/software-vendor model, but oriented toward consumer account-data access rather than business-reporting data exchange.
• Tink (Visa): Tink, owned by Visa, operates open-banking connectivity and PSD2-compliant data aggregation across European banks. Comparable to SBR Nexus in bridging financial institutions with software via standardized APIs, though focused on account-data access rather than reporting.

Regional players

• Visma: Visma provides accounting, ERP, and compliance software for SMBs and accountants across the Nordics and Northern Europe, comparable to SBR Nexus in serving the accountant/SMB-to-financial-institution reporting chain, but with broader software suite and Nordic geography.
• Signicat: Signicat provides digital identity and trust services (eID, e-signing, KYC) to European financial institutions and public sector, comparable to SBR Nexus's eHerkenning/PKI signing layer as identity infrastructure that underpins regulated data exchange.
