Focus Future

350 years of Metzler: focus future

Entrepreneurial into the future

By tradition, we are capable of change; we are future-oriented and constantly on the move. Thus, our anniversary year is all about "Focus Future".

For 350 years, Metzler Bank has focused solely on the needs of our clients. With entrepreneurial spirit, independence and a keen sense of humanity, the company has successfully navigated through several wars, crises and revolutions over the years and is still a major player in the financial world today. Metzler Bank and its approximately 800 employees stand for security, farsightedness and stability. The bank is now in its 12th generation of family ownership. With Elena and Franz von Metzler at the helm, a new generation is now leading the company with eyes set firmly on the future.

Zukunftstalk 350 Jahre Metzler in Frankfurt

Let’s talk about the future

In its anniversary year, Metzler Bank is celebrating its long and successful tradition as an entrepreneurial bank and is using this special occasion to cast a glance into the future - and to shape it. For a total of six so-called "Zukunfts-Talks" at Metzler Bank’s locations in Frankfurt/Main, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and Tokyo, we invited several high-profile guests to  take a seat on our blue Metzler sofa and discuss the future.

The talks focused on the challenges of our time and their possible impacts on the economy, politics and companies. Watch the short videos that summarize the talks.
