Even stronger together for the benefit of our clients: zeb cooperates with gfb – Gesellschaft für Bankorganisation mbH 

A partnership for the future. On November 1, 2025, it was made official: zeb and gfb – Gesellschaft für BankorganisationmbH – are now strategic partners. 

zeb brings decades of experience in the business and operating model of cooperative banks, established processes and a strong market presence to the table. gfb, in turn, is a proven specialist in benchmarking for cooperative banks. 

Sound benchmarking creates transparency across the entire operational banking business, providing a reliable basis for the right optimization decisions and thus for the future success of the respective institution. 

“In gfb we have found a partner whose strong expertise in benchmarking for cooperative banks makes them a perfect fit for our innovation strategy.” 

Sandra Douqué, Partner at zeb

What’s in it for our clients? 

This partnership is not an end in itself – it stems from the desire to offer better solutions together. zeb is adding a key element to its value chain: benchmarking for personnel and non-personnel costs in cooperative banks and specialized institutions.

And in cooperating with zeb, gfb gains a partner that can offer all consulting services along the entire value chain in the financial services industry, which is heavily influenced by regulation and digital transformation.

This will benefit above all our clients, who will be able to make decisions about the future founded on a broad and accepted comparative basis and be offered tailor-made solutions “from a single source” for their implementation. Together, we can react more quickly to client needs and offer more extensive services.  

“With gfb benchmarking and VR-KostenManager, gfb offers the market-leading tool for benchmarking and cost control.”

Alexander Stich, Managing Partner of gfb

A cooperation among equals 

In our collaboration, we treat one another as equal partners who each bring unique strengths to the table. 

The result: a dynamic connection that creates real added value for our clients!
