!!!Oberbank AG

Oberbank AG, (until 1998 known as Oberbank, Bank fuer Oberoesterreich 
und Salzburg AG). Established in 1869 as a public limited company 
under the name of "Bank fuer Oberoesterreich und Salzburg" (Bank for 
Upper Austria and Salzburg) with headquarters in Linz. The Oberbank 
played an important role in infrastructure development, 
industrialisation and reconstruction in the region. - Before 1955 the 
Oberbank had been a regional commercial bank (listed on the Stock 
Exchange) focusing on industrial financing. It later diversified into 
other operations to become a full-service bank. Branches: 1955: 17 in 
Upper Austria and the province of Salzburg; 1998: 94 (since 1985 in 
St. Poelten, since 1988 in Vienna, since 1990 in Munich, 1998 
Eisenstadt), thus one of Austria´s largest regional banks, with 
a balance sheet total of 101 billion ATS and 1,535 employees 
(1998). Since 1997 cooperation with the  Bank fuer Tirol und 
Vorarlberg AG and the  Bank fuer Kaernten und Steiermark AG has been 
intensified.
