!!!Bank für Tirol und Vorarlberg AG, BTV

Bank fuer Tirol und Vorarlberg AG, BTV. The bank was founded in 1904 
by the K.k. privileged Allgemeine Verkehrsbank, Vienna, as a company 
limited by shares in Innsbruck. As it incorporated the old-established 
private banks Payr & Sonvico (Innsbruck) and Ludwig Brettauer sel. 
Erben (Bregenz), it had a firm foothold as a bank for private and 
corporate clients in the two provinces of Tirol and Vorarlberg from 
the very beginning.

\\
During the 1920s and 1930s, the bank incorporated another three 
Tirolean financial institutes and, owing to those new customers and 
branch offices, further strengthened its market position in the 
province of Tirol. During the 1960s and 1970s, the network of branch 
offices in Austria' s western provinces was gradually expanded, and in 
the autumn of 1989 a branch establishment was opened in Vienna.

\\
In 1999 the BTV had 39 branch offices, 26 of which are in Tirol, 8 in 
Vorarlberg, and one in Vienna. It also has a representative office in 
Verona (Italy) and a consulting office in Bolzano (Italy). Its balance 
sheet total amounted to ATS 54.9 bn in 1998 and it employed a staff 
746. This independent regional bank is listed on the stock exchange 
and is the leading bank for general banking transactions in western 
Austria. Since 1997 the BTV has intensified its cooperation with  
Oberbank AG and the  Bank fuer Kaernten und Steiermark AG.
