About Sparkasse Meißen

Sparkasse Meißen is a public-law savings bank (Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) serving the district of Meißen in Saxony, owned by local public bodies and operating within a regional mandate focused on retail customers, small and mid-sized enterprises, and municipal clients. It offers current accounts with tiered monthly fees depending on included services, savings and term deposits, consumer loans and overdrafts, mortgage financing, business accounts and working-capital facilities, payment acceptance (including POS terminals), and cash management. Securities services are available via the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, typically including custody accounts and Deka investment funds, and insurance products are distributed through the group’s regional insurer. Customers can access services through local branches and self-service terminals, nationwide Sparkassen ATMs for cash withdrawals with the Sparkassen-Card (fees may apply at third-party machines), online banking via web, and the Sparkasse mobile app with two-factor authentication (pushTAN or chipTAN); contactless and mobile payments are supported depending on card product. Pricing, interest, and exchange rates follow the bank’s published price and service notice (Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis), with fees varying by account model and channel; standard SEPA transfers, standing orders, and direct debits are supported, and cut-off times apply. Deposits are protected under the institutional protection scheme of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, which fulfills statutory deposit protection requirements up to 100,000 EUR per depositor; the scheme is designed primarily to prevent insolvency of member institutions. Account opening generally requires identification under German AML rules and proof of residence status; services are provided under German law and supervision by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. The bank communicates primarily in German and focuses on its defined business territory, with product availability and conditions contingent on customer profile and regional policies.
