About Vereinigte VR Bank eG

Vereinigte VR Bank eG is a regional cooperative bank in Germany and part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken. It serves private customers, self-employed individuals, associations and SMEs within its defined business area, offering current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer and mortgage loans, overdraft facilities, securities custody and brokerage, as well as business accounts with payments, cash management and financing solutions. Services are complemented by cooperative network partners such as DZ BANK (capital markets), Union Investment (investment funds), Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall (home savings), R+V Versicherung (insurance) and VR Smart Finanz (SME financing). Access is available via branches, online banking and the VR banking app with PSD2-compliant strong customer authentication (app-based or TAN generator); payment cards typically include girocard and debit/credit cards issued with network partners, with access to the cooperative ATM network; availability of specific card types and mobile wallets depends on issuance. As a cooperative, customers can apply for membership by purchasing shares; admission is subject to approval and membership confers voting rights and the possibility of profit participation via dividends, which are not guaranteed. Pricing follows the published Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis and generally includes account maintenance, card, and transaction fees, plus custody and advisory fees for securities; interest rates and charges vary by account model. Deposits are covered by the German statutory deposit guarantee up to EUR 100,000 per depositor and by the cooperative sector’s institutional protection scheme; scope and limits are defined by the schemes’ rules. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank, and product availability and eligibility are typically limited to the bank’s business area with standard identification and credit checks applying.
