Its product range covers retail and SME banking, including current accounts with tiered monthly fees, debit cards (Sparkassen-Card/girocard) and optional credit cards, savings and term deposits, securities accounts and investment funds via group partners, consumer and mortgage loans, as well as business accounts, payment solutions, and financing options supported by group companies. Customers can use the nationwide Sparkassen ATM network for cash services, with fees potentially applying at third-party machines and abroad. Online and mobile banking are provided via the Sparkasse web portal and app, supporting SEPA transfers, standing orders, and direct debits; real-time transfers are offered where available and may incur fees. Strong customer authentication under PSD2 is implemented through pushTAN or chipTAN procedures, and cards support contactless payments; Apple Pay and Google Pay are generally available. Insurance is distributed through SparkassenVersicherung, and home-savings contracts are offered via LBS Hessen‑Thüringen; securities and funds are provided within the group (e.g., Deka). The bank operates local branches and self-service points in its area, with service available in person, by phone, and through secure digital messaging; advisory appointments are standard for complex products. Pricing follows a published schedule of fees and services, with potential charges for account packages, certain card types, counter transactions, paper statements, manual orders, and instant payments; conditions, interest rates, and availability vary by product and channel. Deposits are protected by the Institutional Protection Scheme of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, which fulfills the statutory deposit guarantee requirements up to 100,000 EUR per depositor and is designed to prevent member insolvency; supervision is by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Users should review the current price list and product terms before opening or switching accounts, as offerings and fees can change.
