Done Deals

In order to make Investkredit's business and the essence of the specialist banking group tangible, transactions photographed as “tombstones“ - were chosen. It is standard practice in the financial world to publish successful transactions in the form of such tombstones. They are produced as advertisements or as actual objects for display.

To make Investkredit’s function clear in these complex types of financing, the report has – unlike in real tombstones – deliberately dispensed with the names of other financing partners. Quotes from customers and statements by Investkredit breathe life into these examples from day-to-day business.

Investkredit thanks all customers and partners for their assistance and for agreeing to the publication.
