WHO WE ARE AND
WHAT WE DO

Briefly summarized: 
we introduce ourselves

The conclusion of important financial products requires a relationship at eye level and full trust between customers and a bank. For this reason, we would like to introduce ourselves to you here and convey our philosophy and values.

In a nutshell: Austrian Anadi Bank AG is a challenger of the status quo based in Klagenfurt at the beautiful Wörthersee. We operate in the core areas of Digital Banking, Corporate Banking and Public Finance. Our main goal is to provide simple and cost-efficient digital services for our customers.

AUSTRIAN ANADI BANK AG:
DIGITAL. FAST. RELIABLE.

Anadi Bank focuses on innovative digital banking, consistent public finance and financially strong corporate banking and offers its customers uncomplicated access to financial products. 

We see ourselves as a challenger of the status quo and are actively shaping the future of our industry. 

Anadi Bank: Strongly growing and highly capitalized bank
Anadi Bank has been through an impressive transformation in recent years. The result in the digital area: a strong range of new products, including the innovations “Anadi Connect” and “MARIE”. Anadi Connect, for example, impresses with the concept of tablet-based banking, which enables financial service providers to offer banking services to customers on site using a tablet.

Anadi Bank offers numerous digital products, such as the online consumer loan, an online current account or online savings products with attractive interest rates. Thanks to web-based customer identification, our digital products can be accessed easily from home. Our customers benefit from state-of-the-art internet banking and first-class service.

Reliable partner for companies and the public sector
In Austria and Germany, Anadi Bank serves numerous SMEs in the real estate, retail and manufacturing sectors. Due to its historical role as a regional bank, Anadi Bank has a long-standing, trusting relationship with the state of Carinthia and many municipalities. We advise municipalities, public utilities and public housing companies on their banking transactions.

Since 2013, the bank has been wholly owned by an internationally active, long-term shareholder via Anadi Financial Holdings Pte. Ltd.

From Carinthia to the whole of Europe
Our journey began in 1896 as a state mortgage institution. Since then, Anadi Bank has stood the test of time and overcome numerous financial and geopolitical crises. Throughout its history, Anadi Bank has needed staying power and has had to prove that it can adapt to a new environment. This endurance is even in our name: “Anadi” means “eternal” in Hindu.

Transformation has always been part of Anadi Bank's history. We have maintained this desire to actively shape change to this day. Our agility and innovative strength set us apart from traditional banks and make us the bank of the future.

Regional added value and help for people in the region
Anadi Bank employs around 180 people. Almost 140 of them work in the digital sector. In recent years, we have created almost 100 digital jobs in Carinthia, making a valuable contribution to strengthening Carinthia as a business location. The strategic cooperation with the University of Klagenfurt launched in 2023 to promote young talent is also driving forward promising topics such as digitalization and AI. We are planning to create more new jobs in Carinthia over the next few years.

The state of Carinthia is closely linked to Anadi Bank. Based on our history, we also see it as our responsibility to make a contribution beyond the creation of jobs. With our “Anadi hilft” association, we are doing exactly that: we support selected social projects in the region and want to strengthen solidarity in our society.
