The Bremer Bank Aktiengesellschaft (short BKB Bank ) was a German credit institution in the legal form of a joint stock company based in Bremen . The bank was merged with the Oldenburgische Landesbank in 2018 .
history
On November 18, 1863, the Bremen advance payment association was founded by six people. One of the founders was the lawyer Albert Gröning , who later became a senator. In 1869 the association was converted into a cooperative and entered in the cooperative register. In 1872 the name was changed to Bremer Gewerbebank . The number of members grew from 98 in 1863 to 2763 in 1875. In 1885 the cooperative was converted into a public limited company.
In 1882 the bank moved into a new building at Langenstrasse No. 4. The bank building was expanded in 1891 and now extended to the neighboring houses. In 1897 the institute was renamed Bank für Handel und Gewerbe AG . In 1900 and 1914 further expansions took place.
Branches were set up in Findorff, Oberneuland and Thedinghausen . In 1921 it was renamed again, this time to Bankverein für Nordwestdeutschland AG . After the inflation of the 1920s, the branches in Bremerhaven and Geestemünde were handed over to JF Schröder Bank .
After the Second World War , Bankverein für Nordwestdeutschland AG and Bremer Kreditbank AG merged to form Bankverein Bremen AG . The buildings in Langenstrasse were rebuilt and remained the bank's headquarters until 1977.
A new building was built on Wachtstrasse and moved into in 1977. In the 1980s, branches were set up in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt am Main .
The Belgian Kredietbank NV in Brussels acquired shares in Bankverein Bremen AG from 1982 onwards and finally obtained a 99.7% majority of the shares. In 1990 the Bremen company was renamed Kredietbank-Bankverein AG .
After Kredietbank NV merged with ABB Insurance and CERA Bank to form the KBC Group in 1998 , the name of the German subsidiary was changed to KBC Bank Deutschland AG on July 1, 1999 .
In 2013 it became known that a group of international investors wanted to take over KBC Bank Deutschland AG. The takeover by the US investor group consisting of Teacher Retirement System of Texas , Apollo Global Management and Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance was completed on October 1, 2014. On this date, the company name was also changed to Bremer Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft ( BKB Bank for short ).
Acquisitions
In March 2016, the Neelmeyer banking house was taken over by Unicredit Bank . The bank has been a wholly-owned subsidiary since April 1, 2017.
The takeover of Oldenburgische Landesbank was announced on June 23, 2017 . BKB takes over around 90 percent of the shares from Allianz Deutschland AG for 300 million euros.
