Listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, the bank's principal owners are RBG's regional banks. Prior to their reverse merger in March 2017, RBI operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Raiffeisen Zentralbank (RZB Group).

The National Agency for Corruption Prevention in Ukraine blacklisted Raiffeisen in March 2023 as a global supporter of war.
