As the now-restored ability to deliver and, at the same time, unusually early deliveries by manufacturers are currently leading to high inventories at many retail companies and thus to a short-term and seasonal strain on liquidity, German ANWR Group is strengthening its affiliated retailers via the Group’s own DZB Bank with an exclusive, free payment offer. To this end, DZB Bank is expanding the liquidity scope of footwear, sporting goods and leather goods retailers belonging to ANWR Group in Germany and abroad. The offer provides the opportunity to convert a due-decade statement into an interest-free seasonal special line with a term of up to 60 days in the period from March 31 to June 30, 2023. “With this unique offer from our DZB Bank, we are creating financial freedom for our affiliated retailers for a successful year 2023,” described Frank Schuffelen, CEO of ANWR Group, the objective of the initiative.

Around 20,000 medium-sized companies are currently affiliated with the ANWR Group via its two credit institutions, DZB Bank GmbH and Aktivbank AG. The group itself employs around 1,400 people. The ANWR Group includes, for example, Sport 2000 Germany and Sport 2000 International.
