A mobile office is a "rolling" branch of a company or an institution and serves as an alternative to stationary offices in small towns, rural regions or suburban areas.

Usually mobile branches offer the full range of stationary branches. A specially converted van or small truck is usually used as the base vehicle .

This service is now offered by savings banks , cooperative banks , private banks and health insurance companies. The mobile office often runs according to a specific timetable and stops at predetermined “stops”, which are even signposted in some places.

The concept was particularly common with so-called bank buses in the period of the economic miracle after the Second World War , and after German reunification , West German banks tried to attract East German savers with buses that were quickly converted.
