Landesbank Baden-Württemberg: LBBW – Financial services provider for SMEs

Being a full service bank and an in­­ter­na­­tional commercial bank, the LBBW group combines the efficiency of a mod­­ern financial service provider with a tightly knit branch of­­fice network – a combination that is unique in the Ger­man banking industry.

The LBBW has about 13,300 employees and total assets of 448 billion euros (as of 31 December 2008), which means it is Germany’s third biggest credit institute and one of the world’s 50 biggest banks.

In addition to doing business on the cap­­ital markets, Landesbank Baden-Würt­­temberg looks after the group’s supra-re­­gional and international corporate cus­­tomers and it is the central bank for the savings banks in Baden-Würt­tem­­berg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony.

In the core market of Baden-Württem­berg, Baden-Württembergische Bank (BW-­­Bank) acts as a regional commercial bank for the business with high net-worth and cor­porate customers. The product port­­folio for corporate custom­ers focuses on small and mid-sized en­­­­terprises. The strong regional roots and client proxi­mity is shown in the dense network of more than 200 branch of­­fices. Having more than one million cus­­tomers, BW-Bank is one of the leading banks in Baden-Württemberg.
