About FHB Kereskedelmi Bank Zrt. Niederlassung Frankfurt

FHB Kereskedelmi Bank Zrt. Niederlassung Frankfurt was the German branch of FHB Commercial Bank, the former commercial banking arm of Hungary’s FHB Group, set up to serve cross‑border corporate and institutional clients in the EU under passporting rules. As an EU branch, its prudential supervision was primarily the responsibility of Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB), with conduct oversight in Germany by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank; any covered deposits placed through the branch would have fallen under Hungary’s National Deposit Insurance Fund (OBA) up to €100,000 per depositor in line with EU Directive 2014/49/EU. The Frankfurt unit’s activities were oriented to wholesale services such as lending, trade finance support, treasury and funding operations, and euro payments, not mass‑market retail banking, and pricing for services was typically negotiated rather than published as a retail tariff. FHB Group underwent a multi‑step consolidation of Hungary’s banking sector: FHB Commercial Bank was integrated into Takarékbank’s platform from 2017, FHB’s mortgage entity was rebranded within the Takarék group in 2019, and in 2023 Takarékbank merged with MKB Bank and Budapest Bank to form MBH Bank Nyrt.; as a result, the FHB brand ceased to operate and any remaining cross‑border relationships were transferred to successor institutions or wound down according to regulatory approvals. The branch’s legal and resolution framework was governed by Hungarian and EU law (CRR/CRD, BRRD) with host‑state cooperation; investor compensation, where applicable, aligned with Hungary’s schemes. Publicly available information on a current retail offering in Frankfurt is limited, and legacy clients typically interact through the successor group’s channels for account servicing, credit documentation, and payments.
