Export finance: LBBW again recognized as leading global bank

LBBW has again been ranked second among the leading global banks for export finance in 2025 by the London-based specialist information service TXF. This represents the seventh successive top three placing for LBBW in the “Bank of the Year in Export Finance” list.

LBBW was particularly successful in the “Customer Service” category. The evaluation also took account of qualitative criteria such as industry expertise, competitiveness and support for sustainable projects. “Once again, we have demonstrated that LBBW is one of the best in the industry,” said Nanette Bubik, Global Head of Export Finance at LBBW. “This success can be attributed to the outstanding work and dedication of the entire export finance team. With this renewed accolade and the recognition it entails, the value of our focus on customer requirements is absolutely clear.”

Export finance as a driver of internationalization

LBBW is a reliable partner to companies around the world. It provides suitable financing solutions for emerging economies and industrialized nations alike, thereby helping to strengthen the European economy and advance the sustainable transformation. Many companies are also in the process of reviewing their supply chains and customer markets and realigning them to reflect the current global challenges. LBBW provides them with access to new markets and structures.

“Our aim is to offer customers holistic solutions for global markets,” said Michael Maurer, Head of Global Trade & Export Finance at LBBW. “With our many years of expertise, we support companies in their international activities as a long-term strategic partner. This renewed accolade serves as an acknowledgment of the continuity within our team and the high quality standards we pursue.”

Dirk Kipp, member of the Board of Managing Directors responsible for Financial Markets Activities and Asset Management/International Business, added: “This award is an impressive reflection of our performance and underlines LBBW’s strength when it comes to international business. In challenging times in particular, our global focus is proving to be all the more important for our customers’ success and our own sustainable growth.”
