SaarLB is a modern and innovative bank with a long tradition, numerous visions and unique Franco-German charm
We are the Franco-German bank based at the heart of the Franco-German border region, directly in the centre of Saarbrücken.
Additional locations in Koblenz, Oldenburg, Mannheim, Strasbourg, Paris, and Lyon round out the best possible cover of our business area. This allows us to always be close to our customers and their concerns – “Economic foresight through human proximity” has been not only our claim for many years, but also lived in daily cooperation.
We have been doing business for more than 80 years and have always focused on the segments of corporate customers, real estate and project financing as well as institutional investors and municipalities/public sector.
Our close cooperation with the Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft, the private bank within the Sparkassen financial group, lets us also offer high net worth retail customers and family businesses individual consulting and support at the highest level.
Our pronounced France strategy means that the French market is also of particular importance to us. “La Banque Franco-Allemande”, our French brand, expresses exactly what we are in our neighbouring country: a Franco-German bank that is also a partner for cross-border activities – we guide our customers to their desired target markets.
Our initiative called “Pôle Franco-Allemand” and our strong cooperation partners, “Banque Populaire Alsace Lorraine Champagne” and “Oddo BHF” place a great network at our disposal – which is also clearly underscored by our Franco-German focus.
Saarland and the Sparkassenverband Saar [Savings Bank Association] have given us two strong shareholders for many years, guaranteeing the necessary stability and security – essential factors in these times. As part of the Savings Banks Finance Group, we have a wide and strong network available to us. We are the largest credit and covered bond (Pfandbrief) institution in Saarland and also a member of the Association of German Pfandbrief Banks (vdp)
We also stand for a long-term and sustainable business policy and do so in all dimensions of sustainable action. Our sustainability strategy has also established a basis for us to pursue a holistic approach that relates to all corporate divisions and business areas and combines economic, ecological and social objectives. The coveted “Prime Status” (ISS ESG) and also the award as a “climate-conscious company” (Capital) demonstrate this.
As the largest credit institution in the region, we have already been honoured several times as a “family-friendly” company. Consequently, our employees are particularly close to our hearts. We offer them a thorough work-life balance, promote health and well-being through a variety of measures, and also offer individual professional development opportunities.
