Oberbank is NOT the same as UniCredit Bank Austria, which holds a large minority stake in Oberbank but does not control it. Oberbank is also distinct from BKS Bank and BTV (Bank fuer Tirol und Vorarlberg), its sister banks in the 3-Banken-Gruppe cross-shareholding arrangement. It should not be confused with Raiffeisen Oberoesterreich, the Upper Austrian Raiffeisen Landesbank.
