About us
The Münchener Hypothekenbank – abbreviated MünchenerHyp – was founded in 1896 as the "Bayerische Landwirthschaftsbank" and at that time was supported by the cooperative sector as well as by the Royal Bavarian government. It is the only mortgage bank in the world doing business in the legal form of a registered cooperative.
As an independent mortgage bank – no other large bank holds a majority share in the MünchenerHyp – the Bank’s owners primarily consist of cooperative banks, cooperative central banks and individual members/shareholders, most of whom are customers.
Private customer business
The Bank maintains 11 regional offices staffed by experts throughout Germany to support our ongoing business relationships with the Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken. We conduct our private residential lending business via the cooperative Financial Services Network (FinanzVerbund), the Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken, and our regional offices, which serve as lending partners to local banks within the FinanzVerbund.
Commercial lending business
Our national and international commercial property lending business is centrally managed from our main office in Munich. Within Germany we also maintain offices in Frankfurt/Main, Hamburg and Berlin. The international set up consists of a network of cooperating partners based in London, Madrid, New York, Paris and Vienna.
