Banking Products

Commerzbank provides you with the reach and scope of the services you require, as well as proven capabilities and long-standing experience in raising funds. We deliver solutions and can provide you with continuous access to secondary markets across our entire product line.

Bilateral Loans

Term loans, revolving credit, swingline, standby, or guarantee facilities for your corporate clients or private customers – all of these transactions demand coverage. Commerzbank provides you with individual, tailor-made bilateral solutions for all of your financing requirements.

Drawings with essentially floating interest rates are possible in a single currency or multiple currencies. We provide short-, medium-, and long-term financing with terms ranging from 6 months to 5 years and interest rates of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Our flexible documentation and redemption scheme designs meet your needs.

We can offer you tailor-made refinancing with an assured interest rate level and planning reliability due to our customer proximity and individual handling.

Club Deals

The club deals offer obvious benefits: a single large loan from multiple banks of your choosing - and reduced operating costs due to a single arranger/administrator who remains your designated contact person throughout the loan's life. Because of our customer proximity and flexible handling, we can offer you customised club deals in terms of amount, redemption scheme, and documentation.

Commerzbank, in collaboration with your chosen consortium of banks, can underwrite significant amounts. Drawings with essentially floating interest rates such as LIBOR, EURIBOR, and so on are possible in a single or multiple currency. Lifetimes range from 24 to 60 months, with interest periods of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. Commerzbank offers customised club deal solutions that are tailored to your specific financial needs!

Schuldschein

For general or specific refinancing purposes, a "Schuldschein" could be the right solution for your needs. Schuldschein transactions can be arranged very quickly, with a lifetime of between 2 and 5 years, in order to improve your asset / liability management. Lending can be done by one bank, which might look for participants afterwards.

The Schuldschein is very similar to a bond, but less expensive, and it does not need to be registered at a stock exchange. Thus, the borrower of a Schuldschein has no access to the bond market. More flexible than a bond, the Schuldschein note can be adjusted to the customer's needs regarding repayment terms, drawdown periods, etc. Lending amounts range between EUR 10 and 100 million.

Commerzbank's wide-ranging portfolio of financial instruments gives us the flexibility to provide tailor-made solutions to our customers' needs. We don't even have to issue the promissory note, as the loan documentation is sufficient.

Syndicated Loan

Commerzbank has a strong track record as bookrunner, mandated lead arranger and underwriter of syndicated loans. Due to our customer proximity and flexible handling we can offer you individual kinds of syndication loans as well as a complete service for complex transactions.

In our regional syndication centres in Europe, North America and Asia multilingual traders and sales specialists as well as research analysts and loan closers are at your disposal. Additionally Commerzbank provides an internet-based bookbuilding platform for the primary loan market – simple to use, 100% secure and bespoke for syndicated loans.

As a reliable financial partner with significant underwriting capacity, Commerzbank offers you professional syndication thanks to its established contacts in the banking market.
