Raiffeisenverband Salzburg – at a glance 

RVS has been established in 1905 as Salzburgische Genossenschaftszentralkasse. In 1949 the name was changed to Raiffeisenverband Salzburg. What hasn’t changed is that RVS is a registered cooperative, owned by 152 regional cooperative members. 36 of which are member banks owning more than 85% of RVS, whereas no member holds more than 10%. The remaining 15 % are held by cooperatives within the agricultural sector. The balance sheet total as per 31.12.2021 was EUR 9,699 bn.

The general management of the RVS is headed by CEO Mr. Heinz Konrad. He is supported by Mr. Andreas Derndorfer (Corporate Management), Mrs. Anna Doblhofer-Bachleitner (Raiffeisen Banks and Goods Business) and Mr. Manfred Quehenberger (Private and Business Customers).

As a modern and future-oriented institute, RVS stayed abreast with the world-wide globalisation of the economy. A major task of Raiffeisen is to support exporters in all possible fields of business.

RVS provides the local banks with a number of central bank services and offers its customers as a universal bank a comprehensive package of financial services including a large range of private and commercial credit and loan facilities, electronic banking, support in international transactions as well as a professional investment management service.

RVS has a large base in private customers and in its area it is the number one financier for small and medium-sized enterprises, for the tourism industry, for private households and home building as well as for agriculture and forestry.

Wealthy private clients are increasingly making use of the portfolio management services of "Raiffeisen Salzburg Invest KAG", a 100% subsidiary of Raiffeisen Kapitalanlage GesmbH, which also handles investment funds to complement our service portfolio.

The package of services is supplemented by Raiffeisen’s own insurance (Raiffeisen Versicherung) and leasing company (Raiffeisen Leasing GmbH) as well as its real estate agency (Raiffeisen Immobilien Salzburg eGen).

RVS is also head office of the warehouse cooperatives („Lagerhaus“) of the province of Salzburg with 37 warehouse stores, 24 filling stations, 8 farm machine garages and a mixed feed plant.

Generally RVS has an important role in the commodities and live-stock business as local supplier both for consumers and farmers and so contributes considerably to the importance of Salzburg as Austria’s second largest trading place.
