LHV Pank (originally Lõhmus, Haavel & Viisemann) is an Estonian banking and financial services company headquartered in Tallinn. The Bank's clients include private individuals, small and medium-sized companies and institutional investors. LHV has branch offices in Tallinn, Tartu, Riga, Vilnius and Helsinki. LHV Pank employs over 180 people. More than 50 000 clients use the Bank's services. LHV Pank is one of the largest brokers on NASDAQ OMX Baltic stock exchanges and the largest broker for Baltic retail investors in international markets.

LHV Pank was fully cash-free—operating only with electronic transfers and card payments—until August 2015, when they opened their first 10 ATM machines (9 in Tallinn and one in Tartu). All machines allow cash deposits in addition to withdrawals.

LHV Pank has been identified as a partner in the virtual E-residency of Estonia program, enabling e-Residents to open a bank account in Estonia.
