About Volksbank Lüneburger Heide eG

Volksbank Lüneburger Heide eG is a regional cooperative bank (eingetragene Genossenschaft) serving the Lüneburg Heath area in Lower Saxony and is part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken. It provides standard retail and SME banking services, including current accounts, savings products, consumer and mortgage lending, overdrafts, business accounts, merchant services, and payment solutions; many investment, brokerage, pension, and insurance offerings are distributed via group partners such as DZ BANK/Union Investment, Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, R+V Versicherung, and VR Smart Finanz. Access is via branch network, online banking, and mobile app, with two‑factor authentication methods such as app‑based TAN or chipTAN; card payments (girocard and international schemes) and SEPA transfers are supported, and mobile wallets may be available depending on card and device. Fees are typically model‑based and published in the bank’s price and service schedule; interest rates and conditions vary by product and customer profile. The bank participates in the statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 euros per depositor via BVR Institutssicherung GmbH and is integrated into the cooperative sector’s institutional protection scheme (BVR‑Sicherungseinrichtung) designed to stabilize member institutions; applicable coverage and exclusions follow the scheme rules. International transfers are processed through SEPA or SWIFT, with charges according to the tariff. Account opening is possible in branch and, for many products, online with standard ID procedures. The institution is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. As with many regional cooperative banks, availability of specific services and branch hours can vary by location, and product suitability depends on individual needs and regional presence.
