About Raiffeisenbank Unteres Vilstal eG

Raiffeisenbank Unteres Vilstal eG is a regional German cooperative bank serving customers in the lower Vils valley area of Bavaria. As part of the cooperative financial group of Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken, it provides standard retail and small-business services including current accounts with tiered pricing, savings and term deposits, consumer loans and overdrafts, residential and commercial financing, domestic and SEPA payments, and girocard and credit cards issued through the group. Digital access is available via online banking and the VR Banking App with strong customer authentication; transfers, standing orders, and account management can be handled remotely, while cash services are offered at branches and through the BankCard ServiceNetz of cooperative ATMs across Germany. Investment and retirement solutions, custody accounts, and insurance products are distributed via providers within the cooperative group, with product availability and costs defined in the bank’s schedule of prices and services. Account packages generally carry monthly maintenance fees, and additional charges may apply for manual transactions, paper statements, cards, and withdrawals at non-network machines; interest rates and conditions are subject to periodic updates. As an eingetragene Genossenschaft, customers can acquire cooperative shares that confer voting rights; any member dividends depend on the bank’s annual results and are not guaranteed, and membership is not required for most services. The institution is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank; deposits are protected by the BVR Institutssicherung (the cooperative sector’s statutory deposit protection scheme) and additionally by the voluntary protection scheme of the cooperative financial group, in line with the applicable rules. The bank’s profile suits customers who value local advisory services and access to the broader cooperative network’s product range, while potential drawbacks include a limited geographic branch footprint, fee-based account models compared with digital-only providers, and service availability tied to branch operating hours; prospective clients should review the current price list, interest and fee terms, and contractual conditions before opening an account.
