LLB (Schweiz) AG Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG, trading as LLB (stylised as llb), is a financial institution located in Liechtenstein, based in the capital city Vaduz. Since 1993 it has been listed as a company at the SIX Swiss Exchange, with the majority of shares (56.3%) owned by the Liechtenstein state. As the state is in a customs and monetary union with Switzerland and has adopted the Swiss franc as official currency, the monetary policy and money supply is the sole responsibility of the Swiss National Bank (SNB).

The LLB Group offers its clients wealth management services: as a universal bank, in private banking, asset management and fund services. With over a thousand employees, it is present in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, the United Arab Emirates and, since 2024, in Germany.

In addition to its primary operations in Liechtenstein, LLB also operates in Austria and Switzerland, Germany, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

History

In 1992 Liechtenstein joined the European Economic Area which made the bank fear for its country's bank secrecy policy.

In 1993, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank was listed in the Swiss Stock Exchange, with the majority of shares (57.5%) owned by the Liechtenstein state.

In February 2007, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank became a controlling shareholder of the Banque Linth.
