2 FOREWORD. DEAR BUSINESS PARTNERS! VKB-Bank has been supporting its customers and business partners in Upper Austria for 145 years and has made a strong contribution to the improvement of the local economy. The past year was characterised by numerous changes and requirements for banks. VKB-Bank nonetheless succeeded in achieving a strong result and again offered many Upper Austrian businesses the possibility to find financial solutions together in In the residential building sector the VKB-Residential Billion led to the creation of new and the refurbishment and expansion of existing residential space. Founded as a cooperative bank in 1873, our bank with its rich tradition was reorganised as a stock corporation some 35 years ago. Right from the start, VKB-Bank was a firm believer in the spirit and value of personal banking and backs people and businesses in Austria as their financial partner to this day. VKB-Bank sees itself as the customers companion and mentor in financial matters. Thereby, our interest in the customers business success is always to the fore. We finance our customers projects, take over the risk and secure their liquidity. We want to offer them security of their investments and fair, independent access to the capital market.
