Stefan Hienzsch appointed Head of BMW Bank

Hienzsch, a fully qualified lawyer, has served as Chief Representative of BMW Bank since June 2024. His appointment marks a continued evolution of the bank’s leadership structure, although the rest of the management board remains unchanged, with Joachim Herr, Torsten Matheis and Kerstin Zerbst continuing in their roles.

Alexander Buresch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BMW Bank and Head of BMW Group Financial Services, said Hienzsch brings deep financial and legal expertise rooted in decades of experience within the BMW Group.

“Stefan Hienzsch is an experienced financial and legal expert who is very familiar with the challenges and opportunities of the BMW Group’s financial services business,” Buresch said. “Under his leadership, BMW Bank will continue to expand its role as a reliable, innovative partner for our customers and dealers and continue to make a significant contribution to the success of the BMW Group in Germany and Europe.”

Hienzsch has spent more than 25 years with the BMW Group, most recently leading the company’s legal department for Corporate Finance, Financial Services and Mergers & Acquisitions for over a decade. He has also held senior roles in the UK for the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands.

In his new position, Hienzsch will oversee the next phase of BMW Bank’s digital transformation, targeting enhanced customer experience and sustainability within the bank’s service offerings.

“I am very pleased about the trust placed in me and look forward to my new role,” he said. “BMW Bank will continue to systematically pursue its digital transformation process. My goal is to inspire customers and retailers with innovative, digital and sustainable solutions and to further develop the bank as a strong, future-oriented partner in the BMW Group ecosystem.”
