Bayerische Landesbank, also known as BayernLB, is a publicly regulated bank based in Munich, Germany and one of the six Landesbanken. It is 75% owned by the Free State of Bavaria (indirectly via BayernLB Holding AG) and 25% owned by the Sparkassenverband Bayern,[1] the umbrella organization of Bavarian Sparkassen. With a balance of €285,70 billion[2] and 7,703 employees (in the group; 3,343 in the bank itself), it is the seventh-largest financial institution in Germany.[3]

BayernLB has been designated as a Significant Institution since the entry into force of European Banking Supervision in late 2014, and as a consequence is directly supervised by the European Central Bank.[4][5]
