ODDO BHF Aktiengesellschaft

ODDO BHF Aktiengesellschaft is a German private bank headquartered in Frankfurt am Main and part of the Franco-German ODDO BHF Group, formed after the acquisition and integration of BHF-BANK by Oddo in the mid-2010s. The bank focuses on wealth management for private clients and family offices, asset servicing and depositary functions for funds, and corporate and institutional services spanning lending, treasury, and capital markets. Its advisory capabilities include M&A, equity and debt capital markets, and structuring solutions commonly used by mid-sized German companies, including Schuldschein placements and private placements, with sales and trading, research, and execution supported by the group’s cross-border platform. On the banking side it offers current and custody accounts, discretionary and advisory portfolio management, securities brokerage, FX and rates services, lending facilities, and tailored financing for entrepreneurs and Mittelstand corporates. ODDO BHF Aktiengesellschaft operates under the German Banking Act (KWG) and is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank within the European Single Supervisory Mechanism; it is subject to CRR/CRD capital and liquidity requirements and publishes annual and Pillar 3 disclosures. Client deposits are protected by the German statutory deposit guarantee scheme (Entschädigungseinrichtung deutscher Banken) up to the legal limit per depositor; additional protections may apply depending on product and eligibility. The bank maintains offices in major German financial centers and accesses the group’s network in Germany, France, and Luxembourg to serve cross-border mandates. It is part of a privately held group with majority family and employee ownership, and positions itself toward affluent private clients, institutional investors, and mid-market corporates rather than mass-market retail.
