Bankhaus Metzler provides capital market services across asset management, capital markets, corporate finance and private banking. The group centers on a Frankfurt-based bank, B. Metzler seel. Sohn & Co. AG, and traces its roots to 1674, making it the oldest private bank in Germany with continuous family ownership. From its beginnings as a cloth trading firm, Metzler has aligned its business with client needs and avoided conflicts of interest, offering independent, specialist guidance to help create long-term value for clients. In the banking sector, Metzler positions itself as a partner for clients seeking sophisticated, independent advice in its core areas. Based in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany, the firm operates as a mid-sized private bank with a long-standing family ownership tradition and a commitment to independence, entrepreneurial spirit and humanity. A notable development in recent years is the establishment and expansion of Metzler Japan Holdings Inc., which began operations in Japan in 2025, signaling its expanded regional footprint.
