About Volksbank an der Niers eG

Volksbank an der Niers eG is a regional cooperative bank in the Lower Rhine area of North Rhine-Westphalia and part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network. Its core offering covers current accounts with tiered monthly fees, youth and student variants, overdrafts, and debit cards (girocard), with optional credit cards from the cooperative network; cash withdrawals are typically free at ATMs in the BankCard ServiceNetz, while out-of-network and foreign withdrawals incur fees and currency markups. Digital banking is provided via online banking and the VR Banking App with PSD2-compliant two‑factor authentication (e.g., pushTAN or chipTAN); e‑statements are standard, and Apple Pay/Google Pay support is available for eligible cards depending on product configuration. Savings, term deposits, and investment products are offered, including funds via Union Investment and securities custody/brokerage services through network partners; insurance is distributed via R+V Versicherung. Lending spans consumer loans, mortgages, overdrafts, KfW‑supported financing, and solutions for self‑employed clients and SMEs, with business services such as cash management, POS acceptance, and leasing available through VR Payment and affiliated providers. As a cooperative, customers can become members by purchasing shares; voting follows the one‑member‑one‑vote principle, and any dividend on shares depends on annual results and resolutions. Deposits are covered by the statutory German deposit guarantee up to 100,000 EUR per depositor via BVR Institutssicherung; the cooperative network also maintains a voluntary institutional protection scheme within its rules. Account openings are available in branch and, for many products, online with video identification; service and documentation are primarily in German. Pricing, interest rates, and product availability follow the published price list and can change; review the current terms and conditions before choosing products.
