history
founding
The credit institute was founded in 1969 as a partial payment bank in order to handle the commercial credit business for the customers of Otto Mailing. At that time, the bank was operating under the name of Hanseatic Bank Teilzahlungsfinanzierungs-GmbH & Co KG. The activity initially consisted of providing Otto customers with partial payment credits for their purchases from the mail order catalogs and of managing the corresponding payment transactions.
In 1976 the Hanseatic Bank was granted the full banking license . This enabled the product portfolio to be expanded to include all banking products. In addition to issuing consumer loans, the savings bonds and deposits made it possible for customers to make a secure investment. The area was later expanded to include business with funds and life insurance. In the course of the introduction of the deposit business, a branch network was set up. In 1976 branches in Essen , Hanau , Hanover and Nuremberg were opened in addition to Hamburg . In 1985, the bank was one of the first providers in Germany to introduce ATMs.
Until 2005 90 percent of the shares in the Hanseatic Bank belonged to Otto Versand, while Schwab Versand held 10 percent. In 2005, 75 percent of the shares were transferred to the major French bank Société Générale with the aim of expanding the consumer credit business. The remaining 25 percent remained with the Otto Group. In 2006 the Hanseatic Bank founded its own subsidiary, the Hanseatic Service Center GmbH (HSCE). There, the employees essentially take on tasks in loan and deposit administration and are available to customers and cooperation partners by phone and email if they have any questions.
The financial advisory services of the Hanseatic Bank
The bank's first financial advisory service opened in Saarbrücken in 1978. In 2012 this was added to the Hanseatic Service Center.
