Company presentation

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was founded in 1991 when communism was crumbling in Europe and ex-Soviet countries needed support to nurture a new private sector and democracy. Today we invest to help build market economies from central Europe to central Asia and the southern and eastern Mediterranean. We are now the largest single investor in our region. Owned by 69 countries and two intergovernmental institutions, we provide project financing for banks, industries and businesses. We also work with publicly owned companies to support privatisation, restructure state-owned firms and improve municipal services. Wherever we are active, we promote policies that bolster the business climate.

Banking at the EBRD

The Banking team provides project financing for banks, industries and businesses, investing in projects that could not otherwise attract financing. Every project is tailored to the needs of the client and the country, region or sector in which it operates. Our portfolio is wide-ranging ? from green energy and critical infrastructure to food security, capital markets development and digitalisation.

We are a recognised global leader in climate finance. In recent years, much of our activity has focused on supporting resilience in response to major shocks ? including the coronavirus pandemic, the ongoing war on Ukraine, and wider geopolitical and economic challenges affecting our regions.

Typically, the EBRD funds up to 35% of a project's cost, with direct investments ranging from €5 million to €230 million. Beyond financing, through the Small Business Initiative we also connect small and medium-sized enterprises with world-class advice, enabling them to grow, succeed, and drive local and regional development.

A career in EBRD Banking means working with a diverse team of sectoral, regional, legal and environmental specialists. By mobilising donor funds from governments and international institutions, we channel investment capital and expertise where it is most needed ? and help local businesses access the support they need to thrive.

Right to Work in the UK: Swiss nationals (and all other non-UK employees) can work in the UK without a Visa - working at the EBRD gives all employees "exempt status". The Bank however encourages all non-UK employees to obtain an Exempt Vignette (EV) prior to relocating to the UK, as without an EV you may face more questions at Border Control and when required to show evidence of their exempt status when renting accommodation under the Right to Rent legislation. The application process may take 3 – 4 weeks approx. outside of the UK.
