A process is provided for preparing crosslinkable binders in the form of the aqueous dispersions by polymerizing vinyl ester-olefin copolymers in the presence of protective colloid, which comprises polymerizing vinyl ester-olefin copolymers having a Tg of less than -10° C. by emulsion polymerization in the presence of a protective colloid based on (meth)acrylate polymers comprising from 80 to 95% by weight, based on the overall weight of the polymer, of acrylates or methacrylates of aliphatic alcohols of 1 to 12 carbon atoms and from 5 to 20% by weight, based on the overall weight of the copolymer, of ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acids, the latter copolymer having a glass transition temperature Tg of from 60 to 120° C., and, after the end of polymerization, introducing the crosslinkable groups by reacting the carboxyl groups of the (meth)acrylate polymers with ethylenically unsaturated compounds comprising functions suitable for esterifying the carboxyl group.
