Bankhaus C.L. Seeliger

Bankhaus C.L. Seeliger is a German private bank headquartered in Wolfenbüttel and founded in 1794, operating a relationship-led private banking model for private clients, entrepreneurs, family businesses, and foundations. Its offering covers discretionary and advisory portfolio management, securities brokerage and custody, deposits and payments, financing for individuals and businesses (including mortgages and real estate-related lending), and support for succession or foundation structures, with mandates tailored to client objectives. Pricing typically combines percentage-based management fees with transaction and custody charges disclosed in mandate and tariff documents rather than retail-style public price lists. Distribution is centered on in-person advisory via relationship managers, supplemented by standard online banking for accounts and custody access; the physical footprint is limited and regionally focused. As a German credit institution, the bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Client deposits are protected by the statutory German deposit guarantee (Entschädigungseinrichtung deutscher Banken) up to EUR 100,000 per depositor; in Germany, many private banks additionally participate in the Association of German Banks’ voluntary deposit protection scheme that provides higher limits subject to ongoing reforms, so customers should confirm current coverage directly before holding larger balances. Investment services fall under MiFID II suitability and appropriateness requirements, and orders are executed on German and international markets where relevant. Prospective clients should review mandate terms, fee schedules, execution policies, and digital capabilities in light of their needs, and note the bank’s regional orientation and emphasis on individualized service over standardized mass-market products.
