About Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen

Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen is a public-law savings bank headquartered in Solingen and part of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, operating with a regional mandate and municipal ownership. It offers standard retail and business banking products, including current accounts with tiered pricing models, savings and term deposits, overdrafts, consumer loans, mortgages, debit cards (girocard) and credit cards provided via group partners, as well as services for small and medium-sized enterprises such as business accounts, payments, cash management, and financing. Securities brokerage and investment funds are available through the group’s distribution framework, typically involving DekaBank, and insurance products are offered via affiliated Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe insurers. Digital banking is supported through online banking portals and the Sparkassen mobile app with two-factor authentication (e.g., chipTAN or pushTAN), contactless payments, and wallet integrations commonly used in Germany; video or remote identification and e-signature are available for selected products subject to regulatory requirements. Customers have access to the nationwide Sparkassen ATM and self-service terminal network; withdrawals at third-party ATMs and additional services (paper statements, card replacements, cash deposits above free quotas, expedited transfers) may incur fees, which vary by account model and are published in the price and service notices. The institution is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank, with risk and governance structures defined by German savings bank regulations (Vorstand and Verwaltungsrat). Depositors are protected by the institutional protection scheme of the German Savings Banks Finance Group (Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe), which is officially recognized as a deposit guarantee scheme under EU rules up to the statutory limit; the institutional scheme also provides preventive support measures. The bank communicates primarily in German, operates a local branch network in Solingen, and offers service via phone and digital channels. Access to certain products can be region-dependent, and pricing and interest conditions are subject to change based on published schedules and prevailing market rates.
