About Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw

Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw is a public-law savings bank serving the city of Pforzheim and the districts of Enzkreis and Calw in Baden-Württemberg, owned by local municipalities and operating within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe under BaFin and Deutsche Bundesbank supervision. It offers retail and business banking including current accounts with tiered pricing models, youth and student options, savings and investment products (for example fund savings plans via DekaBank), building-society contracts through LBS, insurance mediation via SV SparkassenVersicherung, and securities custody and brokerage. Lending covers consumer loans, overdrafts, and real estate financing, with access to subsidized programs such as KfW and regional development bank offerings subject to eligibility. Payment services include girocard (Sparkassen-Card) and credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), SEPA transfers and standing orders, and support for contactless and mobile payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay where technically eligible. Digital banking is provided through online banking and the Sparkasse mobile app with pushTAN or chipTAN, electronic mailbox, notifications, and multibanking; SEPA Instant payments may be available for a fee depending on the account model. Cash access is via its own ATMs and the wider Sparkassen network in Germany; withdrawals at non-network ATMs typically incur charges.

The bank maintains branches and self-service locations across its region and offers advisory appointments in person, by phone, or via video. As part of the Sparkassen institutional protection scheme, liabilities are covered by the group’s system of mutual support; statutory depositor protections under German law also apply. Conditions, fees, and interest rates depend on the selected product and customer profile and are set out in the current price and service list; availability of specific services and features can vary and is subject to change.
