3 Questions to Rainer Kornherr

We asked Rainer Kornherr, Chief Representative Vienna, about the people who use his services, what his customers expect, and how he can surprise them.

1. Who uses your services and expertise?

Our customers are primarily corporate clients, financial institutions, and the public sector. How can you surprise your customers?

2. What attractive options do customers often underestimate?

Thanks to its extensive international network and strong credit rating, LBBW has particular strengths in trade finance and export finance. We are also especially well known in the area of Schuldscheindarlehen (promissory note loans), where we have been the market leader for many years. Beyond that, the bank is also a business partner in traditional corporate financing and corporate finance.

Despite the bank’s size, we are proud to have a strong SME-oriented mindset. We value long-term, partnership-based cooperation and are characterized by short decision-making processes.
