MHB Bank

What MHB Bank does

MHB Bank, legally Raisin Bank AG, is a Frankfurt am Main-based German credit institution (Aktiengesellschaft) that has repositioned from a traditional commercial bank — with origins in 1973 — into a specialized Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider serving B2B partners across Europe. The bank holds a full German banking license and operates with 501–1,000 employees, offering two core products: a BaaS model that enables partners to implement business models requiring a banking license, and Cash Solutions that provides cash-management infrastructure. Its primary customer segment is enterprises — particularly fintechs, financial service providers, and regulated businesses — that need licensed banking infrastructure and regulatory, supervisory, legal, and compliance support without obtaining their own banking license.

• Tink: European open-banking and payments infrastructure provider (now part of Visa) enabling account aggregation, payments initiation, and financial data — an adjacent infrastructure player rather than a direct BaaS competitor to Raisin Bank.

Emerging players

• Weavr: Embedded finance infrastructure provider for B2B SaaS and fintechs in Europe, offering accounts, cards, and payments via APIs — partial overlap with Raisin Bank's partner-facing BaaS proposition.

Direct peers

• ClearBank: UK-chartered bank providing real-time clearing, accounts, and embedded banking infrastructure via API — a direct BaaS competitor with comparable regulated-bank positioning to Raisin Bank.
• Solaris SE: Berlin-based Banking-as-a-Service provider with a full EU banking license offering embedded banking, payments, lending, and cards to fintechs and platforms across Europe — directly comparable to Raisin Bank's BaaS + Cash Solutions offering.
• Modulr: UK-regulated e-money institution offering API-first Banking-as-a-Service (accounts, payments, cards) to platforms and fintechs across the UK and Europe — directly comparable in BaaS value proposition to Raisin Bank.
• Treezor: French-regulated payment institution (majority-owned by Société Générale) providing Banking-as-a-Service, payment accounts, and card issuing to fintechs in Europe — a direct competitor for the same BaaS partner segment Raisin Bank targets.

Broad incumbents
