About Raiffeisenbank Ried eG

Raiffeisenbank Ried eG is a regional German cooperative bank that operates on a member-owned model (eG), focusing on retail and small-business banking within its local catchment area. As part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network, it typically offers current accounts, debit and credit cards, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, mortgages, securities custody and brokerage (often via Union Investment), insurance brokerage (commonly via R+V), and payment solutions for merchants, alongside corporate lending and cash management for SMEs. Customers can use online banking and a group-standard mobile app, and card and wallet compatibility depends on the card type and the bank’s configuration; access to the nationwide Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken ATM network is standard. Fees for current accounts are usually tiered by package and usage, and pricing for transactions, cards, and custody services is set out in the bank’s price and service list; youth and basic accounts may have distinct conditions. International transfers run through SEPA and SWIFT with correspondent banks, and foreign usage fees depend on card and account model. Deposits are protected up to 100,000 euros per depositor by the statutory scheme operated by BVR Institutssicherung GmbH; the bank also belongs to the additional BVR protection scheme that aims to prevent member insolvency. Governance follows cooperative principles with local decision-making and one-member-one-vote, which can be a fit for customers who value regional ties, while the trade-offs typically include a geographically limited branch footprint, non-zero account fees compared with direct banks, and digital features that reflect group solutions rather than fully bespoke platforms. Conditions, interest rates, and availability of specific services can change and vary by customer segment; reviewing the current Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis and the bank’s product sheets is essential before opening an account or applying for credit.
