District Savings Bank Tuttlingen

Self-presentation of the Kreissparkasse Tuttlingen:

“We have been around since 1856 – for over 160 years. As a member of the Sparkasse family, we are one of the largest banking groups in the world: according to surveys, 97 percent of people in Germany know our “Sparkasse S”. Our home and our business area is the district of Tuttlingen. Here, with our 28 branches, we are close to 9 out of 10 residents. With over 500 employees and more than 50 trainees, we are one of the largest employers in the region.
Our annual operating profit has made us one of the top savings banks in Baden-Württemberg for years. We are a public-law institution and are supported by the district of Tuttlingen. Our annual profit is therefore not distributed to shareholders or other investors, but benefits the people, associations and institutions in the region through our social commitment with over 600 thousand euros annually. We use the rest to strengthen our capital base so that we can support the local economy with loans and liquidity. And to develop state-of-the-art financial solutions for our customers. We want to make people’s lives easier with innovative products, such as our savings bank app, which is the best banking app in Germany. And because money always has something to do with trust, all our customers have a personal contact person.

With over ninety thousand private and thousands of commercial customers, we are the market leader in private and corporate banking. More than one in two people have a current account with us and every year we enable hundreds of people to realize their dream of owning their own home. We offer simple and understandable solutions for every situation: from wealth accumulation and financial flexibility through a loan to financial security in old age.

Two out of three companies in the region work with us. Global players and small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups and corporations. In total, these are thousands of companies with tens of thousands of jobs. As the No. 1 financier for SMEs, we are aware of our responsibility to people and companies. For us, economic development is inextricably linked to prosperity and success in the region.

In view of the ever-increasing demands on citizens’ financial provision, we are committed to providing information and teaching financial skills for all areas of life. This educational mission was already anchored in the founding motives of the savings banks 200 years ago. Supporting people in all population groups in making their own provisions and promoting the idea of saving is more relevant today than ever.
