Erste Group Bank AG (Erste Group) announces that Andreas Treichl will step down from his role as Chief Executive Officer at the end of 2019 and that the Supervisory Board has appointed Bernhard Spalt, currently Chief Risk Officer of Erste Bank Oesterreich, to succeed him, the press release says.

– Heading Erste as it evolved from a local bank into the biggest financial services provider in the Eastern part of the European Union has been my life’s work. It’s been both challenging and fulfilling – and I’m extremely proud that together with our nearly 48,000 employees we have expanded the bank, taken it through the financial crisis and put it on an even stronger footing for the next stage of growth in the digital age. It’s important to me that we are recognized as not only one of the best performing and most modern banks in Europe, but also for focusing on bringing prosperity to our region and our clients, true to our founding mission. I’m convinced that Bernhard Spalt is exactly the right person to chart the bank’s path going forward – said Andreas Treichl.

Bernhard Spalt (50) has built his entire career within Erste Group, having joined in 1991 straight out of university. He has held multiple board-level positions in Central and Eastern Europe and at holding company level, spearheading several strategic repositioning undertakings.


He was member of the management board and CRO in Romania (2017), Slovakia (2015-16) and Hungary (2012-15). He had previously also served as CRO of Erste Group (2006-12), having managed the establishment of the group’s Strategic Risk Management division. Prior to that he was the driving force behind bad loan management in the Czech Republic and thus played a key role in the successful turnaround of Ceska sporitelna (1999-2002).

Bernhard currently serves as Chief Risk Officer at Erste Group’s Austrian subsidiary Erste Bank Oesterreich.

He earned a master’s degree in Law from the University of Vienna in 1992.
