About Sparkasse Uckermark

Sparkasse Uckermark is a public-law savings bank within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe that focuses on retail and business banking across the Uckermark district in Brandenburg. It provides current accounts with tiered monthly fees depending on included services, overdraft options subject to credit assessment, savings and term-deposit products, building savings via group partners, securities custody and investment funds (including DekaBank products), and consumer, mortgage, and business financing, including access to promotional programs such as KfW where applicable. Payments are supported via girocard (Sparkassen-Card) and, depending on the card selected, Debit Mastercard or Visa Debit and charge or credit cards; Apple Pay and Google Pay are generally available, along with SEPA transfers and, at many Sparkassen, SEPA Instant. Cash can be withdrawn at Sparkassen ATMs across Germany, typically without charge from the bank operating the account; third-party ATM withdrawals and foreign use usually incur fees. Digital banking is offered through web banking and the Sparkasse app with two-factor authentication (chipTAN or app/pushTAN), e-documents, and payment approvals; account opening is available in-branch and often digitally using video identification. Business customers can obtain operating accounts, cash management, POS terminals and e-commerce acquiring via group providers, working-capital and investment loans, and commercial real estate financing; ancillary products such as leasing, factoring, insurance, and pensions are offered through Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe partners. Pricing, interest rates, and eligibility depend on the chosen account model and creditworthiness and are set out in the bank’s price and service list. Deposits are protected under the Institutional Protection Scheme of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, which is recognized as a deposit guarantee scheme under German law (statutory coverage up to 100,000 euros per depositor, per bank, with institutional support aimed at preventing insolvency). Sparkasse Uckermark is supervised under German banking regulation (BaFin/Deutsche Bundesbank) and applies standard consumer protections and data privacy rules (GDPR). The bank operates under the regional principle and concentrates services on private customers, SMEs, and local public-sector entities within its area of responsibility.
