About Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich AG

Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich AG is the central institution of the Raiffeisen Banking Group in Upper Austria, headquartered in Linz and organized as a joint‑stock company with cooperative ownership links to the regional Raiffeisen banks. It acts both as a service and refinancing hub for the local Raiffeisen banks (liquidity management, payments clearing, treasury, risk and product support) and as a commercial bank in its own right for large corporates, mid‑caps, public sector entities and private banking clients in Austria and selected neighboring markets. Core activities cover corporate lending, structured and project finance, commercial real estate finance, trade and export finance, cash management and payments, capital markets and investment services, asset management via group companies, leasing and insurance brokerage; retail day‑to‑day banking is primarily handled by the independent local Raiffeisen banks, while RLB Oberösterreich focuses on corporate and private banking mandates and wholesale services. Digital access is provided through the Raiffeisen “Mein ELBA” online and mobile platforms for individuals and businesses. Funding is diversified across customer deposits, intragroup sources within the Raiffeisen network, and capital market instruments including covered bonds and senior unsecured debt. The bank participates in the Raiffeisen institutional protection scheme (Haftungsverbund) and deposits are protected under the Austrian deposit guarantee framework consistent with EU rules up to EUR 100,000 per depositor. It is licensed in Austria and subject to the EU Single Supervisory Mechanism, with ongoing oversight by the Austrian Financial Market Authority and Oesterreichische Nationalbank, and it discloses regulatory capital, liquidity and risk information under CRR/CRD, including Pillar 3 reports. Risk exposure is concentrated in the regional corporate and commercial real estate segments and export‑oriented industries typical of Upper Austria; risk management relies on collateralization, internal ratings, limits and hedging for credit, market and interest rate risks. Cross‑border activities are mainly within the EU, including a branch presence in Germany, and standard SEPA payment rails are used for euro transactions. Pricing for accounts, payments, cards and custody follows published schedules or bilateral agreements; most retail pricing is set by the local Raiffeisen banks, while corporate and private banking terms are individually negotiated. On the capital markets side, the bank maintains debt issuance programs and is generally assessed at investment‑grade by major rating agencies. Recent disclosures highlight continued digitalization, regulatory compliance, and sustainability reporting in line with Austrian and EU requirements.
