The bank’s first annual balance sheet following the currency reform disclosed a capital of 0.25 million euros and a business volume of 1.5 million euros. Today, its liable equity amounts to 213.3 million and the balance sheet total to 3.2 billion euros. Berenberg Bank currently manages about 25 billion euros.

Now in the fifth century of its existence, Berenberg Bank is a dynamic and modern private bank employing roughly 1000 people in Hamburg, Bielefeld, Bremen, Braunschweig, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, Geneva, London, Luxembourg, Paris, Salzburg, Shanghai, Vienna and Zurich.

The bank currently operates in four business areas:

• Private Banking

As an independent private bank, Berenberg Bank continues to be entirely committed to its customers. Objectivity and closeness to the customer, combined with the professionalism of a modern, dynamic, internationally orientated institute, make Berenberg Bank a popular port of call in the German banking world. Its significance can be attributed to the dedicated work of its general partners and employees, as well as to the ever-increasing base of loyal customers.

The values underpinning their work remain just as valid today as they were 400 years ago: personal commitment, reliability and responsibility.
