Erste Group Bank AG
Investor Relations

Founded in Vienna in 1819 as the first savings bank in Austria, Erste Group Bank AG has evolved into a major financial institution serving Central and Eastern Europe. The bank operates with a wide-reaching network, offering a comprehensive suite of financial products and services. With a focus on retail banking, Erste Group caters to individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large corporations. Its operations extend across countries like Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, and several others. By focusing on building long-lasting relationships within its communities, Erste Group has positioned itself as a trusted partner in both personal finance management and business endeavors.

The way Erste Group Bank AG creates revenue is through the strategic balancing of traditional banking services, including loans, deposits, and mortgages, while also engaging in asset management and investment banking activities. By aggregating deposits from millions of account holders, the bank is able to facilitate lending operations that underpin the economic infrastructure of the region. Fees from these lending operations and returns from investment initiatives further bolster their income. Erste Group also capitalizes on the region’s growth potential and its own digital transformation to innovate banking solutions, thereby enhancing user experience and operational efficiency. Through prudent financial management and continued regional growth, Erste Group Bank AG maintains a solid foundation for its financial services business model.
