About Raiffeisenbank Südliches Ostallgäu eG

Raiffeisenbank Südliches Ostallgäu eG is a German cooperative bank serving the southern Ostallgäu district in Bavaria, operating under the Raiffeisen/Volksbanken model with a regional focus on private clients, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the agricultural sector. As an eingetragene Genossenschaft (eG), it follows the one-member-one-vote principle; customers can acquire cooperative shares and may receive a dividend subject to the bank’s results and approval by the members’ meeting. The bank offers standard retail and business banking services including current accounts, savings and term deposits, girocard and credit cards (issued within the cooperative network), consumer loans, mortgages, and business financing; it commonly distributes building savings contracts via Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, investment funds via Union Investment, insurance from R+V Versicherung, and merchant services through VR Payment, with additional corporate and trade finance services routed through network partners such as DZ BANK and, where applicable, KfW promotional programs. Access is provided through local branches and self-service terminals, online banking, and the VR Banking app; strong customer authentication is supported via app-based TAN methods and chipTAN, and card products generally support contactless payments and common mobile wallets where enabled. Cash withdrawals are available across the BankCard ServiceNetz of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken. Deposits are protected up to 100,000 EUR per depositor by the recognized deposit guarantee scheme of the cooperative sector (BVR Institutssicherung GmbH); beyond that, the sector maintains an additional voluntary protection scheme designed to stabilize member institutions. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Account packages and services typically carry monthly fees and per-item charges; current tariffs, interest rates, and conditions are published by the bank and can change. Investment and securities services are offered within the cooperative network framework and involve market risk, fees, and product-specific terms disclosed in the respective documentation.
