About Volksbank Lahr eG

Volksbank Lahr eG is a regional cooperative bank based in Lahr (Baden‑Württemberg) that serves private customers and businesses in its surrounding market area through local branches and digital channels. As part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken cooperative financial network, it provides standard retail banking (giro accounts, debit and credit cards, SEPA payments, cash services, nationwide access to the cooperative ATM network), savings and term deposits, consumer loans and overdrafts, and residential mortgage financing, alongside business banking for SMEs, freelancers, associations, and agriculture (business accounts, payment services including merchant acquiring via group providers, liquidity and investment loans, and electronic banking such as EBICS). Securities custody and brokerage are available with access to funds and ETFs from network partners; building society savings contracts, real estate financing support, and insurance brokerage are typically offered via group companies such as Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, Union Investment, DZ BANK Group entities, and R+V Versicherung. Customers can use online and mobile banking with strong customer authentication under PSD2; contactless and mobile wallet options are supported where enabled by card and device. As a cooperative, it issues member shares that provide participation rights and may pay a dividend subject to the bank’s statutes and results. Deposits are covered by the German statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 euros per depositor (with higher protection for certain temporary high balances) via BVR Institutssicherung; the cooperative institutional protection scheme of the group additionally aims to prevent insolvency of affiliated institutions. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank and is subject to the EU bank resolution regime. Pricing follows published schedules of charges with package-based account models and usage-dependent fees for transactions, cards, cash withdrawals outside agreed networks, paper statements, and overdraft interest; business tariffs are typically based on profile and volumes. Product availability, interest rates, and branch services can change with market conditions and internal policies, and lending decisions depend on identity verification and creditworthiness checks (including SCHUFA). Additional services may include safe deposit boxes at selected locations and real estate brokerage through an Immobiliencenter. Prospective customers should review the current Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis, effective interest rates (APR), and risk disclosures for investment and insurance products before entering into agreements.
