80 years of SaarLB

Congratulations on 80 years of SaarLB

The cornerstones of our history

1941 to 2016

On 29 November 1941, the “Landesbank und Girozentrale Westmark”, SaarLB’s predecessor, was founded in Saarbrücken. One of the first tasks of what is now SaarLB was to provide the public and private sectors with loans and also to manage savings bank assets.

Shortly after Saarland joined the Federal Republic of Germany and the Deutschmark was introduced, what is now SaarLB founded the “Banque Franco-Allemande”. This institute quickly developed into an important factor in Franco-German economic relations. On the basis of this step, which was already a ground-breaking one at the time, SaarLB has consistently expanded its cross-border market position as a Franco-German regional bank following the strategic realignment in 2007.

2017 to present

Foresight through proximity, now also in Mannheim

Opening our site in Mannheim in 2017 further reinforced our approach combining economic foresight with proximity to our customers, all within our core market in southwest Germany.

International. Successful. Investment.

Pôle Franco-Allemand was founded in 2019 as a forum for cross-border investments – from France to Germany and vice versa. Pôle Franco-Allemand has now established itself as the top forum for cross-border investments and has a variety of prestigious network partners.

Customised services for SMEs

In 2019 we were able to open our office space in Trier, close to the Luxembourg border, as another location within our core market. This additional branch puts us even closer to our customers in the wine region on the Mosel, and thus ensures even stronger support within our core market.

Our vis-à-vis customer portal

The launch of our innovative “vis-à-vis” customer portal in 2019 represented a milestone in our digitalisation strategy. The portal enables the entire credit process to be digitally mapped, thus offering customers complete transparency end-to-end – i.e. from the first customer meeting through to the payment.

Another site in Koblenz

Opening our office in Koblenz in 2020 gave us another site within our core market. This additional branch in Rhineland-Palatinate has enabled us to continue pursuing our location concept and positioned us even closer to customers and their needs.

Sub-benchmark

The 2020 placement of a public sector pfandbrief (covered bond) in sub-benchmark format represented a first for us at SaarLB. Previously, our pfandbriefe had been issued as compartmentalised issues in volumes of up to EUR 50 million to different investors. This pfandbrief, with a volume of EUR 250 million and a term of 10 years, is part of the ECB’s bond purchasing programme and represents an excellent addition to our financing mix.

Green bonds

In 2020, for the first time ever in the history of SaarLB, we were able to place our “Green Bond” issuance programme on the market. This 150-million-euro programme is primarily aimed at institutional investors with a focus on sustainable investment and was quickly fully placed – further demonstrating the underpinning of our sustainability strategy.

Prime status

Even before our sustainability strategy was published in 2014, we were working on the topic of sustainability. In March 2021 we were awarded sought-after “Prime” status by the renowned sustainability agency ISS ESG. This puts us in the top 10% of banks in the “public & regional banks” category – further proof of our long-term commitment to sustainable development.

Partnership with Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft

Since April 2021, our partnership with Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft – the “private bank” in the savings bank finance group (Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe) – has enabled us to join forces for business with high net worth individuals and corporate customers. Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft is a specialist in this segment and one of the top ten private banks – and thus an upgrade across the board for all customers.

Medieninformation

Als am 29. November 1941 mit der „Landesbank und Girozentrale Westmark“ die Vorgängerin der heutigen SaarLB in Saarbrücken gegründet wurde, wussten die Gründungsväter sicherlich noch nicht, welchen erfolgreichen Weg die heutige deutsch-französische Regionalbank gehen wird.
