Sparkasse Essen

About Sparkasse Essen

We promote a good life for all people in Essen. That is our mission, and it contains the purpose of our work. As a public-law credit institution, we are committed to the common good and have a unique mandate: to enable our customers to participate economically and socially in society. For more than 180 years, we have supported private customers, the self-employed, and companies as a reliable partner with contemporary and fair financial services. We are proud to be the home bank for Essen and the largest credit institution in the city. The profit we generate benefits Essen and its citizens alone. Sustainability has always been part of our self-understanding. In 2021, we signed the "Pledge for Climate-Friendly and Sustainable Business Operations." The Sparkasse Essen is one of the largest employers and one of the most important training companies in Essen. A deep connection to the Ruhr region, home, regionality, humanity, purpose, security, community, working in a strong team, a good work-life balance, fun, and much more – all of this is valued by our approximately 1,200 colleagues in their work. Together, we inspire our customers every day anew: together, reliably, courageously, and trustfully. Because it's about more than just money, we are committed to a strong civil society. Our social commitment is an expression of our attitude and responsibility. Every year, we support non-profit associations, initiatives, and worthwhile projects in the areas of sport, art and culture, social affairs, and sustainability with around 2.7 million euros. They make a valuable contribution to the quality of life in Essen, shape an open and fair coexistence, create connections and strengthen cohesion, promote equal opportunities and sustainable action on site.
