About Stadtsparkasse Bocholt

Stadtsparkasse Bocholt is a public-law savings bank owned by the city of Bocholt and part of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. It focuses on retail and small-business banking in Bocholt and the surrounding area, operating a local branch and ATM network alongside online and mobile channels. Core services include current accounts with tiered pricing, savings and term deposit options, consumer loans and overdrafts, residential mortgages, and payment cards (girocard and credit/debit cards). For investments, it brokers securities and funds via group partners such as DekaBank and offers building society contracts through the LBS network; insurance and leasing solutions are available via Sparkassen-affiliated providers. Business customers have access to working-capital and investment finance, POS and e-commerce acquiring, cash management, and municipal/association banking services. Digital banking supports SEPA transfers, standing orders, e-statements, and strong customer authentication (pushTAN/chipTAN); mobile wallets from Apple and Google are generally supported within the Sparkassen network subject to card eligibility and activation. Pricing follows the published schedule of prices and services (Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis); fees typically vary by account package, channel usage, card type, and paper-based services. Customer service is available via branches, hotline, and secure messaging; identification can be completed in-branch or via standard remote procedures where offered. Deposits are protected through the Institutional Protection Scheme of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, which fulfills the EU’s deposit guarantee requirements up to 100,000 EUR per depositor and is designed to prevent institutional failure. Stadtsparkasse Bocholt is subject to German banking regulation and supervision; dispute resolution is available through the consumer ombudsman of the Sparkassen association. The bank’s regional mandate and product set emphasize local coverage and standardized group solutions rather than nationwide branch reach or niche offerings.
