About Volksbank Krautheim eG

Volksbank Krautheim eG is a regional cooperative bank headquartered in Krautheim (Baden-Württemberg) and part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network. It focuses on retail and small to mid-sized business customers in its catchment area, offering current and savings accounts, payments, debit and credit cards, consumer loans, mortgages, and business financing. Through the cooperative group it distributes investment funds (Union Investment), building society savings and home finance (Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall), insurance (R+V), consumer credit (TeamBank easyCredit), merchant services (VR Payment), and leasing solutions. Access is via local branches and self-service terminals as well as online banking and the VR Banking app; multi-factor authentication under PSD2 is standard, and contactless payments and common mobile wallets are supported where available. Cash withdrawals are free at ATMs in the BankCard ServiceNetz of the cooperative network; withdrawals outside the network typically incur fees. Account models generally carry monthly maintenance charges that vary by package and by use of branch vs. online services; detailed pricing and interest conditions are set by the bank and can change. Customers may become members by purchasing cooperative shares, with voting rights at the annual general meeting and potential dividend subject to results. Deposits are protected by the BVR institutional protection scheme and the voluntary additional protection of the cooperative sector; the bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Onboarding usually requires German identification and, for credit, a Schufa check; some products can be opened online, while others require in-branch consultation. The bank’s local footprint limits physical access outside its region, and product availability and terms can differ from other Volksbanken.
