1 Savings Banks Finance Group Strong together 338,000 staff members working for 590 independent enterprises throughout the Group, and an aggregate business volume of EUR 2,740 billion make the Savings Banks Finance Group the largest banking group in Germany. At the heart of the Group are 417 Savings Banks. Together they provide a nationwide presence: they provide local advice to roughly 50 million customers in 15,095 different branch offices. The companies within the Savings Banks Finance Group have joined forces to form a strong group. They act as independent institutions, while also networking their range of services for not only their private clients, but also the roughly two million companies that maintain an business relationship with a Savings Bank or Landesbank. These synergies are at the heart of the Group s efficiency and strength. The Savings Banks business policy is geared towards retaining and furthering the economic productivity of the municipality or district in which they are located. This also includes the sustainable use of resources in the way they conduct business, to ensure organic individual growth. That is why proximity to customers to the real economy is not just a catchphrase for the Savings Banks. It is an integral part of their business model, setting the tone for their work as they reach out to local people each and every day. The returns the Savings Banks generate ultimately go towards enhancing their capital base, and projects geared towards the greater good. This tradition has helped to support numerous cultural, charitable and social activities throughout Germany for many years. Together with 739 foundations sponsored by Group members, the Savings Banks Finance Group is the largest non-government financial supporter of culture and sports in Germany, and ranks amongst the most prominent sponsors of social projects as well as initiatives in science, research and education. Moreover, the Savings Banks and the Landesbanken are amongst the biggest taxpayers in Germany, thus providing an important contribution to municipal finances targeted support for stability, diversity and development potential in the regions.
