Raiffeisen Banking Group Tyrol
Raiffeisen Banking Group Tyrol
Some facts and figures
The Tyrolean people and economy trust Tyrol’s Raiffeisen
banks. With a market share of almost 50 per cent, Raiffeisen
Banking Group Tyrol is the clear market leader. Putting it anoth-
er way, almost one Tyrolean in two is a Raiffeisen bank custom-
er.
What that meant in 2012, expressed in facts and figures, is
that total first-time instant-access, time and savings deposits
received by Raiffeisen Banking Group Tyrol (including Raiffei-
sen-Landesbank Tyrol AG) up to 31 December 2012 came to
17.57 billion euros, while the loans paid out to private and busi-
ness customers amounted to 9.03 billion euros. The aggregate
balance sheet total was 17.57 billion euros, with an operating
profit of 120.41 million euros. Thus, Tyrolean Raiffeisen banks
can rightly be described as the engine of the regional economy.
Unlike many a major bank, Tyrol’s Raiffeisen banks have deep
roots in the region. This is reflected in the fact that we support
numerous social, cultural and sporting institutions and projects
throughout Tyrol. Over the past three years alone we have laid
out over 15 million euros in support of regional partners.
With 2,800 attractive and secure jobs all round Tyrol, Raiffeisen
is also one of the region’s most important employers. Trainees
play an important role here, with 46 currently working towards
their bank clerk qualifications at Raiffeisen banks in Tyrol.

Das Prinzip
Raiffeisen
The Raiffeisen principle
For 125 years, Tyrolean Raiffeisen banks have been reliable, expert
partners. Their 261 bank branches cater for the financial needs of Ty-
rolean communities, and the 81 banks are wholly owned by the local
population. That is a total of 120,000 members, all of whom live in the
marketing territories of ‘their’ cooperative bank, have seats and voting
rights at the annual general meetings and can actively shape the fu-
ture of their banks. That is a guiding Raiffeisen principle.
Personal closeness to customers, advice based on partnership
between people, responsible offers and rapid on-the-spot deci-
sion-making count among Raiffeisen’s fundamental principles
every bit as much as our commitment to the region.
How it all began
2013 is a very special year for Raiffeisen Banking Group Tyrol. Ex-
actly 125 years ago the first Raiffeisen bank was founded in Oetz.
Shortly thereafter came Inzing, Kirchberg and Mils. What began
back then with a few ‘Sunday savings and loan banks’ has grown
into the strongest and largest banking group in Tyrol. To begin at
the beginning:
In 1888, the first Raiffeisen credit union came into being in Oetz. Its
founders were a small group of energetic men from the Ötztal Alpine
valley who had been inspired by the self-help ideas of Friedrich Wil-
