Oesterreichische Kontrollbank

The Oesterreichische Kontrollbank (OeKB, lit. 'Austrian Control Bank') is a special-purpose financial institution in Austria, headquartered in Vienna. It was founded in 1946 and is owned by Austria's main banks. While technically a private-sector organization, part of its activity is carried out on behalf of the Austrian government and accordingly backed by the state budget.

The OeKB Group's main subsidiaries include Oesterreichischer Exportfonds GmbH and Acredia Versicherung AG in export services; OeKB CSD GmbH and Central Counterparty Austria (CCP.A) in capital market infrastructure; Oesterreichische Entwicklungsbank AG (OeEB) in development finance; and Österreichische Hotel- und Tourismusbank (ÖHT) in tourism services. OeKB also has significant activities in the energy sector.
