Sparkasse Salzkammergut AG

Innsbruck

Am 18. August 1863 öffnete die Sparkasse des Marktes Ischl zum ersten Mal ihre Schalter. Das Startkapital von 8.000 Gulden hatten 25 Ischler Bürger als Garantiefonds zusammengelegt. Daraus wurde die Sparkasse Salzkammergut AG mit Sitz am Sparkassenplatz in Bad Ischl. Sie gehört bis heute niemandem außer ihrer eigenen Privatstiftung.

Das Geschäft ist regional und überschaubar. Wer in Bad Ischl ein Haus baut oder in Ebensee einen Betrieb übernimmt, finanziert das oft über dieses Haus. Fünf Geschäftsstellen führt die Sparkasse mit eigener Mannschaft, dazu kommen drei SB-Standorte, unter anderem in Hallstatt und Gosau. Neben der klassischen Beratung gibt es eigene Einheiten für Kommerzkunden und Private Banking sowie ein Jugendteam für junge Kundinnen und Kunden.

Bemerkenswert ist die Eigentümerstruktur. Die Sparkasse Salzkammergut Privatstiftung hält hundert Prozent, und nach Angaben der Bank besteht keine wie immer geartete Beteiligung einer anderen oder größeren Bank. Nach eigener Darstellung ist sie damit das größte selbständige Bankinstitut im Salzkammergut. Wer hier arbeitet, erlebt Entscheidungen also dort, wo auch die Kundinnen und Kunden sitzen, und nicht in einer fernen Konzernzentrale. Allein steht das Haus deshalb nicht: Es gehört zur österreichischen Sparkassengruppe, die bundesweit über 3,4 Millionen Kundinnen und Kunden betreut, und offene Stellen laufen über das gemeinsame Bewerbungsportal von Erste Group, Erste Bank und Sparkassen.

Die Dividenden fließen an die Privatstiftung und von dort zurück in die Region. Über vier Millionen Euro hat sie seit 2002 in Projekte gesteckt, etwa in die Sanierung der Schule in Reiterndorf oder in die Trendsportanlage mit Pump Track in Kaltenbach. Auch der Musikpavillon im Kurpark und der Klettergarten auf der Katrin stehen auf ihrer Liste.

Ausgebildet wird im eigenen Haus. Die Lehre zur Bankkauffrau und zum Bankkaufmann bietet die Sparkasse laufend an, die Bewerbung läuft online. Aktuelle Mitarbeiterzahlen veröffentlicht das Institut auf seiner Website nicht; geführt wird es von einem zweiköpfigen Vorstand, Andreas Mayrhofer und Peter Rutzendorfer. Den Namen Sparkasse Salzkammergut trägt das Haus übrigens erst seit 2011. Davor hieß es Sparkasse Bad Ischl.
