About Kreissparkasse Heilbronn

Kreissparkasse Heilbronn is a regional savings bank under public law serving private, business, and public-sector clients in Heilbronn and the surrounding region of Baden‑Württemberg as part of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. Its product range covers everyday banking (current accounts with tiered monthly fees, debit cards on the girocard scheme, optional Mastercard or Visa credit/debit cards, domestic and international payments), savings and term deposits, consumer loans and overdrafts, mortgage and real estate financing (including access to KfW programs), and corporate services such as working capital lines, investment loans, cash management, POS and e-commerce payment solutions, and support for subsidies. Securities services are offered via the group’s brokerage and custody platforms with access to DekaBank funds; building society savings contracts are available via LBS Südwest; insurance is typically arranged through SV SparkassenVersicherung. Digital banking is provided via online banking and the Sparkasse mobile app with two-factor authentication (pushTAN or chipTAN); mobile wallet support for Apple Pay and Google Pay is available for eligible cards. Customers have branch access across the local area and can use the nationwide Sparkassen ATM network for cash withdrawals with the debit card; fees may apply at third-party machines and for some counter services. International transfers are processed via SEPA and SWIFT; foreign currency services and cross-border payments generally incur additional charges. Pricing depends on the chosen account model and usage, with separate fees common for cards, paper statements, and certain transactions; overdraft interest rates tend to be higher than standard loan rates. Accounts typically require identity verification and a German address; credit products are subject to affordability checks and SCHUFA information. Deposits are protected by the German statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 EUR per depositor per bank, supplemented by the Sparkassen institutional protection scheme designed to prevent insolvency within the group. Service and documentation are primarily in German.
