Commerzbank – an integrated large bank
Commerzbank is the second-largest bank in Germany and
one of the leading financial institutions in Europe. Following
its takeover of Dresdner Bank in January 2009, Commerzbank
is the leading bank for private and corporate banking
in Germany. The combined new Commerzbank serves almost
15 million customers worldwide.
Commerzbank is a competent provider of financial services
for private customers and small- and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs). It also provides services to many major corporate
customers and multinational enterprises. Commerzbank
aims to be the market leader among its core target
groups.
The new Commerzbank
With the takeover of Dresdner Bank, Commerzbank opens
up a new chapter of its corporate history. As of 12 January
2009, the takeover has been completed and Commerzbank
has become the sole shareholder of Dresdner Bank.
The leading bank for private and corporate customers in
Germany
The transaction will make Commerzbank the leading bank
for private and corporate banking in Germany. With some
1,200 branches, the new bank will have the strongest
branch network of all German banks, and its customers
stand to benefit from an even broader and more attractive
range of products and advisory services.
At the same time, the takeover will enhance Germany’s
standing as an economic and financial centre. The new
Commerzbank will be an even stronger long-term partner
for the export-strong SME sector and corporate customers,
combining the expertise and clear commitment of both
banks to the German market under a single roof.
International presence
Today about one third of German foreign trade is channelled
through the new Commerzbank, the leading export
financier for German industry. The bank is directly represented
in more than 40 countries in all major economic and
financial centres as well as through a network of more than
6,000 banking relationships worldwide. In central and eastern
Europe Commerzbank is well positioned with around
3.5 million customers. In Poland the bank holds a 70 per
cent stake in BRE Bank, Poland’s third-largest financial institution.
We will combine the experience of both banks – in the
interest of our customers
The success of our customers has been and will remain the
benchmark of our activities. The new Commerzbank continues
to endorse its tried-and-tested customer-oriented
business model.
