About Volksbank Leonberg-Strohgäu eG

Volksbank Leonberg-Strohgäu eG is a regional cooperative bank (eingetragene Genossenschaft) serving private customers, self-employed clients, and small and mid-sized enterprises in and around Leonberg and the Strohgäu area of Baden-Württemberg. As part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe, it provides standard retail and business banking products such as current accounts, savings and term deposits, debit and credit cards, consumer and mortgage lending, and corporate financing, alongside securities custody and investment funds distributed through group partners (e.g., Union Investment), insurance via R+V, and building-savings contracts with Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall. Payment services include SEPA transfers and standing orders; card acceptance and POS solutions for merchants are available, with cash withdrawals typically possible across the VR-BankCard ServiceNetz. Digital access is delivered via online banking and the VR Banking app with PSD2-compliant strong customer authentication (e.g., SecureGo plus/pushTAN or chip-based TAN methods); service features and limits depend on the selected account package. Pricing follows the bank’s Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis, with account models that generally carry monthly package fees and per-transaction charges for certain services; card issuance and third-party ATM withdrawals may incur costs. Deposits are protected by the institutional protection scheme of the cooperative sector (BVR Institutssicherung GmbH), which fulfills the statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 EUR per depositor, and by the additional voluntary protection scheme of the BVR. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Account opening usually requires standard identification (VideoIdent or PostIdent) and residency and tax details acceptable under KYC/AML rules; availability of products and advisory services is oriented to the local market and delivered in German. The branch footprint is regional, with advisory by appointment and cash services varying by location; some processes may still require in-person steps. Interest rates, fees, and digital features are subject to change; the current conditions and product list are published by the bank.
