Bankenverband

The Austrian Bankers’ Association is a non-profit service undertaking. We see ourselves as representatives of all credit institutions established in Austria as corporate entities.

Independent Dialogue Partner

Our core competence is to support, assist and represent our member banks at home and abroad. Irrespective of their size and structure, we create a broad basis for discussion. We are a competent and reliable partner providing a politically independent platform for dialogue on current topics that are of relevance to our sector.
