SUSTAINABILITY
›COLLABORATIONS‹
As a church cooperative bank, we naturally believe that cooperation is the only basis for success in the long term. BANK IM BISTUM ESEN has therefore been cooperating for many years with reliable and highly competent partners within networks that create synergy effects.
As an all-purpose bank, we offer our customers comprehensive financial planning services. For specialist areas such as building society savings, insurance or fund products, we work in close collaboration with our partners in order to utilise their experience and expertise in these fields. As a church bank with a unique customer base, we also have partners which specialise in the requirements
of church organisations and their employees.
Our trusted investment fund company Union Investment is also part of this cooperative financial network (Genossenschaftlicher Finanzverbund). In 2012, the highly respected financial magazine Capital awarded Union Investment the top mark of five stars for the tenth time in a row for its fund quality, fund management, product range and service. This is something no other fund company has ever achieved, which is why Capital also named Union Investment 'Fund Company of the Decade'. No wonder more than four million clients have investments with Union Investment. For our bank, this is yet another advantage of working together with the very best companies in the sector.
Our comprehensive range of financial services also includes building society savings and insurance. In these areas, the Genossenschaftlicher Finanzverbund is again exceptionally well placed, as it counts Schwäbisch Hall among its members – the biggest building society in Germany with the largest customer base comprising 6.7 million customers, making it another strong partner for us.
When it comes to church insurance, our retail customers can rely on our expert partner BRUDERHILFE PAX FAMILIENFÜRSORGE. This church enterprise is the leading insurance provider for churches, church-run welfare organisations such as Diakonie and Caritas, and voluntary welfare charities. It is strongly committed to the Church and society, and offers all-purpose insurance and financing products for private individuals based on its core business principle of solidarity. The products offered by BRUDERHILFE also regularly receive recognition from the consumer organisation Stiftung Warentest.
Our partner in the field of insurance for church and social organisations is Pax-Versicherungsdienst, a company with a long tradition. Pax-Versicherungsdienst not only provides insurance for our customers, it also vets the insurance policy we share with other church banks and PAX-Vereinigung Katholischer Kleriker e.V.
The capital investment company AACHENER GRUNDVERMÖGEN was founded over 30 years ago as part of a collaboration between church organisations, and is now our partner for our church organisations. The core business of AACHENER GRUNDVERMÖGEN is managing a property fund where exclusively church organisations have the opportunity invest. The capital investment company also offers customised property investment products for institutional investors. Over 2,200 church investors have already put their trust in the AACHENER investment strategy, which is based on longevity, sustainability, security and profits.
In many specialist areas, we work closely with collaborators that are suited to us and our customers. In choosing these partners, we do not just look at the companies' specialist expertise and how well they can serve our customers. We also consider a good interpersonal working relationship to be very important and fundamental for a collaboration based on trust. Given our positive experiences to date, we can be confident that these partnerships will continue to be a success in the future. When it comes to our customers and our partners, the same principle applies: together we can achieve more.
