SWK Bank, one of Germany's leading service and direct banks, will move from its current headquarters in Bingen to Mainz. The new office space in Mainz has been specially designed to promote cooperation between the teams and individual divisions to support the bank's further growth. The Bank is planning a 2-location strategy: the back office will continue to work from Bingen, the other departments from the new location in Mainz. The head office will be relocated to Mainz. The relocation will take place on May 1, 2023. 

Ulf Meyer, Spokesman of the Management Board of SWK Bank: "In our new premises in the  Kisselberg Innovation Park in Mainz, the bank has the necessary space and infrastructure to cope with further growth. A multitude of innovative features and technologies make it possible to efficiently organise the cooperation between the individual divisions and to further improve processes and procedures for our end customers in the deposit and consumer loan business as well as in the constantly growing banking as a service sector. In addition, the building is technically state-of-the-art  and supports us in further improving our carbon footprint.“ 

"With the new location and its connection to the motorway, railway, airport and local transport, we will become even more attractive for existing and new employees. The improved accessibility and technical infrastructure should also further increase employee satisfaction. SWK Bank was named a  Top Company in 2022 and achieved a higher rating on the kununu rating portal than the average for  the banking industry.“ 

In the Future Atlas of the research and consulting company Prognos, Mainz ranks 45th in a nationwide comparison and, together with Koblenz, is the independent city in Rhineland-Palatinate with the best prospects for the future. According to the city ranking by IW Consult, Mainz is the economically fastest-growing major city and has jumped from 48th to first place due to its significantly increased municipal tax power.  

"These study results confirm our decision to locate in Mainz,“ emphasises Ulf Meyer. Every three years  Prognos examines the economic future viability of all independent cities and districts in Germany,  currently 400, taking into account 29 indicators on competitiveness and innovative strength, the labour market situation, demographics as well as the social situation and prosperity. IW Consult's city ranking uses three indices to compare the status quo (level ranking), the development (dynamic ranking) and the current state of sustainability of the 71 major German cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants and examines the socio-economic structures and developments based on economic structure, quality of life, labour and real estate market.
