History

In 1873 Degussa ( Deutsche Gold- und Silber-Scheide-Anstalt ) was founded. [7] Even then, Degussa was entitled to "engage in banking activities related to the trading and processing of coins and unmounted precious metals". In 1936 it was recognized as a foreign exchange bank. In 1947 the house was approved as a foreign trade bank. In 1979, the Degussa Bank headquartered in Frankfurt am Main was spun out of Degussa AG as GmbH. The department in the group thus became a bank. [8]

From 2002 until the end of 2006, the institute, as a subsidiary of ING-DiBa AG, belonged to the Dutch ING Group. [3]

The Degussa Bank AG is the parent company of the Degussa Bank-Group and, for its part, is not majority-dominated. ERSTE NEUE Christian Olearius Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and Degussa Poolgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, both based in Hamburg, hold more than 25% of the bank. [9]

In 2014, the bank changed its legal form from a limited liability company to a Corporation. [10]
