DVB Bank: The specialist in international transport finance

“At DVB, we make deals work. This means striving to seek and develop intelligent and appropriate solutions that meet and even exceed our clients’ needs and expectations. We go the extra mile to constantly and thoroughly research and study our industry. Often, this leads us to challenge conventional wisdom when offering our focussed range of financing services.”

DVB enjoys a unique position, thanks to its strategic focus on the international transport market, with the submarkets of shipping, aviation, offshore and land transport. As a highly-specialised bank, DVB offers its more than 600 clients and client groups a broad range of customised financial services. Our mission statement above captures both the bank’s real accomplishments and its vision of the future.

DVB’s highly-qualified and experienced staff focus on arranging and providing structured financing solutions, advisory services, and investment activities on behalf of its clients. We market our products and services through 11 our offices located in key transport hubs all around the world. This global presence enables us to take into account the international dimension as well as the local specifics of the markets in which our clients operate, ensuring in-depth client coverage. At the same time, we are thus in a position to maintain close contacts to manufacturers and leasing companies.

The bank’s financial services can largely be allocated to six value-adding areas. We support clients in our Shipping Finance, Aviation Finance, Offshore Finance and Land Transport Finance divisions in the key product areas of Structured Asset Lending, Asset Management, Client Account, Risk Distribution & Loan Participations, Corporate Finance Solutions and Private Equity Sourcing & Investments.

In this context, our renowned, award-winning asset and market research provides the basis for the activities of our business divisions. The teams’ long-standing experience and research know-how shape our financing products and advisory services and serve as a basis for continuously developing and fine-tuning our core areas of expertise.
