In 2019, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of €2.7 billion (2018: €1.4 billion). This figure is attributable to the healthy operating performance of all group entities.

The disposal of foreign companies of Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall and Union Investment also had a positive impact, as did sales transactions at DVB Bank.
