'Credit Company of the Reich') was a significant state-owned German bank, located in Berlin.
In 1917, the Reich Treasury established a Statistical Office for War Companies (German: Statistisches Büro für Kriegsgesellschaften) for the purpose of financing companies that had been set up to support the war effort.
After the war's end, the corresponding assets and liabilities were transferred to a "cxredit and control entity" (German: Reichs-Kredit- und Kontrollstelle GmbH), a limited-liability company owned by the German government.
The RKG was principally active in the areas of industrial and commercial credit, securities, asset management, and trade finance.
[6] A number of former RKG employees subsequently took leadership roles at the Frankfurter Bank.
