The Interessengemeinschaft Frankfurter Kreditinstitute (IFK) represents the three pillars of the German banking industry: private banks as well as public and cooperative institutions. The IFK acts as a lobby group vis-à-vis the state legislature and the state's public authorities and the general public. Our main corporate task is the management of capital investments that are in the interest of the banking industry.
In addition, the IFK promotes financial science projects at Frankfurt universities, because teaching and research play an important role for the financial centre. We have been a partner of Goethe University for many years and regularly present 'IFK Awards' to the best graduates of the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. In 2021, we also sponsored diversity scholarships at the Frankfurt School for the first time.
Our social commitment in recent years has included, for example, our contributions to the Goethe Corona Fund and the children's and youth charity 'Die Arche'.
Strengthening the financial centre is an important concern for us. For this reason, we also supported Frankfurt's application as a location for the newly founded International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
