List of banks in Austria
The following list of banks in Austria is to be understood within the framework of the European single market and European banking union, which means that Austria's banking system is more open to cross-border banking operations than peers outside of the EU. In practice, Austrian banking is shaped not only by large universal banks, but also by regional savings banks, cooperative networks, and digital-first providers, so a simple bank comparison can be useful when choosing between account types and service models. == Policy framework == European banking supervision distinguishes between significant institutions (SIs) and less significant institutions (LSIs), with SI/LSI designations updated regularly by the European Central Bank (ECB).
