history

The bank was created on January 1, 1970 as the Berliner Handels- und Frankfurter Bank from the merger of the Frankfurter Bank founded in 1854 and the Berliner Handels-Gesellschaft established in 1856 . At the time, it was the largest banking merger in Germany since the German Bank and Disconto-Gesellschaft merged in 1929.

The name was changed to BHF-Bank KGaA in 1975. As a partnership limited by shares with a wide range of shareholders, the bank was managed by personally liable partners (including Rüdiger von Tresckow ) who formed the company together with the limited partners. In the 1970s and 1980s, BHF-Bank was one of the three to five leading banks in Germany in the issuing business and was also able to take a leading position in foreign exchange trading and in commercial foreign business in the German banking sector. It also had extensive industrial holdings . Your former senior partner Hanns Schroeder-Hohenwarth was President of the Association of German Banks from 1983 to 1987 .

In 1995 the change from KGaA to a stock corporation was completed. In 1999 the bank was taken over by the Dutch ING Group and changed its name to ING BHF-Bank in 2002 . In 2002, the stock exchange listing ended due to the squeeze-out of the remaining individual shareholders. Most of the business, the operating locations and investments were integrated into the newly founded BHF-Bank Aktiengesellschaft in 2004 , which then took over the Sal. Oppenheim bank as sole shareholder. When Sal. Oppenheim was transferred to Deutsche Bank in 2010, the BHF-Bank, which had always been run as an independent institute, was put up for sale.

In 2014 the bank became part of the BHF Kleinwort Benson Group, which was 100 percent taken over by the French private bank Oddo & Cie in mid-March 2016 . Oddo & Cie is thus indirectly the sole owner. In April 2017 the name was changed to Oddo BHF Aktiengesellschaft.

Social Commitment

The non-profit BHF BANK Foundation was established in 1999. The foundation supports initiatives that provide future and trend-setting impulses for social life in Germany.

The BHF BANK Foundation focuses on two fields: social and scientific projects with a socio-political background, as well as contemporary arts and young artists.
