About Sylter Bank eG

Sylter Bank eG is a regional cooperative bank based on the island of Sylt in Schleswig-Holstein and is part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken cooperative financial network (BVR). It focuses on retail and small to mid-sized business customers, offering current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer and mortgage lending, business financing, payment services, and cash management, with access to the nationwide BankCard ServiceNetz of ATMs for withdrawals within the cooperative network. Investment, pension, and insurance products are distributed through partners in the cooperative financial group (e.g., Union Investment, R+V Versicherung, Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall), and securities custody and brokerage are available via the group’s infrastructure. Digital banking is provided via the standard cooperative platform with PSD2-compliant strong customer authentication, supporting online and mobile access for transfers, standing orders, e-documents, and card controls. As a member-owned eG, customers can become shareholders and exercise membership rights; any dividend on cooperative shares depends on annual results and resolutions. Deposits are protected under the BVR Institutssicherung GmbH deposit guarantee scheme up to 100,000 EUR per depositor, complemented by the institutional protection system of the BVR; the bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank and participates in SEPA for domestic and cross-border euro payments. Pricing follows the published Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis, with account packages that may carry monthly fees and per-transaction charges; conditions, interest rates, and lending decisions depend on creditworthiness and collateral, and the branch footprint is limited to the local region.
