Segment reporting
Structure
VP Bank’s market areas are split into the segments “Liechtenstein & BVI”, “International” (Region Europe & Asia) and “Asset Servicing” owing to the range of services being offered and the market position. The support units are grouped under “Corporate Center”. External segment reporting reflects the organisational structure of VP Bank Group as of 30 June 2024 and the internal reporting to management. These form the basis for assessing the financial performance of the segments and the allocation of resources to them.
Earnings and expenses as well as assets and liabilities are allocated to the business units based on the responsibilities for the clients. Insofar as a direct allocation is not possible, the positions in question are reported under “Corporate Center”. Consolidation entries are also included under “Corporate Center”.
