The energy transition is a key issue for societies around the world.

Westend Bank supports the energy generation from renewable sources by providing loans for energy storage projects such as batteries and PtX and implementing energy efficiency measures on new and existing properties.

We collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders, including project developers, independent power producers, service providers, and core component suppliers, to facilitate the successful implementation of their projects. Our clients have experience in their field but do not necessarily have the track record required by other traditional lenders. We provide streamlined and efficient decision-making processes for customized loans.

Our company specializes in the niche area between retailers and wholesalers, offering intermediate solutions at various stages of a project. Our loan portfolio encompasses a wide range of projects, from smaller initiatives integrated into a portfolio to large-scale projects where long-term purchase agreements are yet to be finalized.

Key Features

  • Loans to support the transition to sustainable energy systems in the SME sector
  • A straightforward, flexible and tailored approach across all stages of the financing process
  • Ability to extend financing to a wide range of projects, including those other traditional lenders would not consider
  • A long-term approach from a strong and stable financial partner
  • Our core markets are industrialised countries with a focus on the euro area
