The institution traces its origins to the cooperative banking movement founded in the late 19th century by Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen. Over the course of the 20th century, its Austrian parent group expanded into neighboring markets. In the early 21st century, a reorganization created the current Raiffeisen Bank International entity to concentrate on Central and Eastern Europe, where it continues to play a leading role in financing infrastructure projects, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and mobilizing retail savings.
