It was merged withInsinger de Beaufort in 2017 to form Insinger Gilissen. The bank had branches inThe Hague,Amsterdam,Enschede,Groningen,Rotterdam andEindhoven.
On 1 February 1881 Theodorus Antonius Josephus Gilissen (1858-1918) founded theTheodoor Gilissen Bankiers. Until 1962 the bank operated as an independent company, then it became acorporation. In 1967 the bank became a part of theBank Mees and Hope, laterMeesPierson. MeesPierson was in turn owned by ABN AMRO. In 1997 MeesPierson was sold by ABN Amro to Dutch-Belgian groupFortis, and Theodoor Gilissen was included in the transaction. In 2003 Theodoor Gilissen was sold toKBL European Private Bankers (KBL EPB), now known asQuintet Private Bank.[1]
In 2011, KBC sold its European private banking branch KBL EPB, including Theodoor Gilissen, to Precision Capital from Luxembourg for more than €1 billion.[2] The latter is a Luxembourg entity that represents the interests of a group of private investors from Qatar. KBC had been working for years to divest KBL EPB by order of the European Commission. In 2008, KBC was only able to survive thanks to a capital injection by the state of €3.5 billion. In May 2010, the Indian bank Hinduja already offered €1.35 billion for KBL EPB, but the Luxembourg financial regulator blocked this transaction.[2]
In April 2016, KBL EPB and BNP Paribas Wealth Management concluded an agreement to acquire Insinger de Beaufort. In May 2016 it was announced that Theodoor Gilissen Bankiers and Insinger de Beaufort would merge.[3]
