The Länderbank, full original name k. k. privilegierte Österreichische Länderbank (), was a major Austrian bank, created in 1880. In 1922 its head office was moved to Paris under the name '''Banque des Pays de l'Europe Centrale (BPEC, , ), even though its activity remained overwhelmingly in the Austrian operations. After the 1938 Anschluss the latter came under control of Dresdner Bank by the name Länderbank Wien. It was nationalized in 1946, renamed Österreichische Länderbank AG''' in 1948, and eventually merged in 1991 with Vienna's Zentralsparkasse to form Bank Austria, which in turn has been a subsidiary of UniCredit since 2005.
