About Sparda-Bank Berlin eG

SPARDA-BANK HAMBURG eG is a German cooperative bank (eingetragene Genossenschaft) based in Hamburg and part of the Sparda group within the cooperative financial network. It focuses on private customers in its regional market and offers standard retail products, including current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, mortgages, payment cards, securities brokerage and funds distribution via cooperative partners, and insurance products from the group’s insurers. Customers can become members by purchasing cooperative shares; membership terms, potential dividends, and redemption conditions are set by the bank and are subject to profitability and notice periods. Services are provided through local branches, self-service terminals, and digital channels with strong customer authentication for online and mobile banking. Cash withdrawals are available at ATMs of the cooperative network of Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken and Sparda banks; use of other networks and foreign withdrawals depend on the card and tariff. Payments include SEPA transfers and direct debits, standing orders, and international transfers processed via correspondent banks; fees and exchange rate markups apply where relevant. Pricing for account management, cards, and transactions varies by account model and usage, with conditions published in the bank’s price and service listing; interest rates and credit terms follow market and risk criteria. Deposits are covered by the German statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 euros per depositor and the institutional protection scheme of the cooperative network (BVR). The bank is subject to German and EU regulation and supervision (including BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank) and applies PSD2 requirements. The product set is geared to consumers rather than businesses, and some services may require residence in the bank’s defined service area and standard identification under German KYC rules.
