In 1999 it moved to Berlin, while its the publishing subsidiary Bankverlag remained in Cologne. The association also maintains an office in Brussels. The BdB is a member of the German Banking Industry Committee that brings it together with its peers representing the other segments or "pillars" of German banking, namely the BVR for cooperative banks, the DSGV for savings banks, the VÖB mainly for public promotional banks, and VdP for specialized mortgage banks.
