The Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft (shortly known as Commerzbank AG or Commerzbank) is a European banking institution headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany. It offers services to private and entrepreneurial customers as well as corporate clients.[1] The Commerzbank Group also includes the German brand Comdirect Bank and the Polish subsidiary mBank.
As one of the oldest banks in Germany,[2] Commerzbank plays a significant role in the country's economy.[3] It is the largest financier of German foreign trade, with strong ties to the German 'Mittelstand.' In addition, it maintains a presence in all major economic and financial centers worldwide. Since its establishment in 1870, Commerzbank has undergone several changes.[4] It was the first German banking institution to open an operational branch in New York City in 1971.
Another milestone was the acquisition of Dresdner Bank in 2009. In the wake of the global economic and financial crisis, the Federal Republic of Germany became a major shareholder in the company. To this day, the government remains a significant bank shareholder, which is listed on the DAX.[5] In recent years, the bank has undergone considerable transformation, returning to profitability, partly through substantial cost reductions and the evolution of its business model.[6][7]
