DSK Hyp


The DSK Hyp AG is the German subsidiary of one of the largest Swedish banks, the Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken.

History

In Germany, the bank began its business activities in 1976 with its own subsidiary. In the year 2000 the SEB group acquired the former Bank für Gemeinwirtschaft, which was renamed SEB AG in 2001. In the private customer business, the SEB had 174 branches and one million customers in Germany. At the end of January 2011, the SEB sold its private customer business in Germany to the Spanish Santander Consumer Bank. Since then, the bank has concentrated in Germany on its core activities, business with companies and institutional clients. As part of this strategy, the SEB AG sold its subsidiary SEB Asset Management AG at the end of August 2015, including its significant holding SEB Investment GmbH. At the beginning of 2018, the SEB transferred its main business activities – the collaboration with companies, institutional clients and international real estate investors - to a branch of the Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AG. The SEB's head office in Germany is in Frankfurt am Main, and the bank also has a location in Munich.
On 4 December 2018, SEB AG changed its name to DSK Hyp AG.

Business

In Germany, the company was active in the fields of corporate clients, institutional clients and structured real estate finance. In 2005, it became the first commercial bank to issue mortgage bonds. The former SEB Hypothekenbank was therefore incorporated as a mortgage and bonds bank in the SEB AG. The bonds business of SEB in Germany continues to be operated by the SEB AG.
