Our history
The history of the Liechtensteinische Landesbank began on 5 December 1861. Its establishment as the "Zins- und Credit-Landes-Anstalt im souverainen Fürstenthume Liechtenstein" (National Interest and Credit Institution in the Sovereign Principality of Liechtenstein) stood at the beginning of all the reforms that followed with the first Liechtenstein Constitution of 1862. These reforms launched the development of Liechtenstein into a modern business location.
The close ties to Switzerland and the adoption of the stable Swiss Franc as the national currency paved the way to success. After the Second World War, we transformed from a rural savings and mortgage bank into a universal bank with international clients. With an emphasis on stability and security, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank will always continue under the aegis of our values – for our country, the region, the people, and the economy.
