About us
Our Vision
Independence is our foremost goal – and makes us first choice for shareholders, customers and employees. This makes us successful and is our reason for being.
Our Mission
Mission Statement
We provide our services to help people and companies achieve their goals, and we stand by them all the way – over generations.
Our principles
- Independence: We do everything it takes to stay independent. Because this is the only way we can reach our own decisions. The foundation: a stable shareholder structure, earnings power and our partnership in the 3 Banken Group.
- Regionality: We are an Austrian regional bank in the heart of Europe with our head office in Linz and branches in Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.
- Sustainability: We grow on our own strength and do not take any risks that could endanger our independence.
- Responsibility: We assume responsibility for society – as an employer, as a partner for regional businesses and as a supporter of communities, culture and sports.
- Competence: We serve and advise our customers in all matters relating to money – especially in situations that require strong support and advice.
- Passion: Competence, reliability and close personal relationships secure our customers’ trust. And we are willing to go the extra mile for them – with commitment and persistence.
Our values
Relationships
- Open: You have questions or want to commend or criticize us – we are easy to reach and gladly take the time for a conversation. We listen carefully and give open and honest answers.
- Close: We prefer personal contacts. We talk and interact with people at a level they understand and always pay attention to their needs.
- Transparent: Our decisions are clear and our actions predictable. This is how we inspire understanding and strengthen mutual trust.
- Fair: Gender and age make no difference to us. We rely on performance and competence, and offer women and men, young and old, equal opportunities.
Success
- Mindful: We always keep an eye on the big picture. We place the goals of customers and the company above those of departments or individual employees.
- Determined: All decisions – personal or company – are reached swiftly and responsibly thanks to our flat hierarchy.
- Strong Execution: You will (practically) never hear “This is not possible”. We find solutions, take the initiative and make use of the full scope of our options with prudence.
Great Expectations
- Opportunities: We create opportunities for people and companies to develop their potentials in line with their capabilities and goals – and also with ours.
- Competence: We rely on the competence of our staff. This is why we are a demanding employer, but also promote skills and personal development.
- Curious: Curiosity is our only vice. We keep our eyes and ears open, look and think outside the box, and are open for new opportunities.
