For over 20 years, HypoVereinsbank has closely followed economic developments in Greece. In 1979, the Bank opened a Representative Office in Athens. In May 1989, the full Branch of the Bank was established (according to the decision no. 409/4.1.1989 of the Monetary and Credit Affairs Committee of the Bank of Greece (Government's Gazette no. 11/12.1.1989/Volume A) with respect to its approval for the establishment of the Branch in Greece).

In 1999 we launched our Shipping unit and in 2000 our new Asset Management and Real Estate services.

Our target has always been to support our customers, in the private and public sector, to succeed in the rapidly transforming markets of Greece and the European Region. We have also introduced European customers of HypoVereinsbank into the Greek market and helped the creation of mutually beneficial partnerships.

To meet these challenges,we offer financial products and services of high standards in quality and know-how, which will enable us to establish long-term relationships with our customers.

 We remain firm in our targets, equating our presence in the Greek market  with today's most innovative banking solutions.
