About Volksbank Rot eG

Volksbank Rot eG is a regional German cooperative bank that operates under the member-owned model typical of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network, serving retail clients, self-employed professionals, and local SMEs in its home market. It offers standard current accounts with tiered pricing, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, overdrafts, and mortgage financing, alongside securities custody and investment products distributed via cooperative partners such as Union Investment; insurance is typically available through R+V Versicherung and building savings via Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall. Payment services include SEPA transfers, standing orders, direct debits, and domestic girocard usage, with debit and credit cards (Mastercard or Visa) for in-store, online, and international transactions; mobile wallet compatibility depends on the card product. Cash access is provided through the nationwide Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken ATM network, while online and mobile banking use app-based strong customer authentication and chip/photo TAN procedures under PSD2. Business customers can expect current accounts, POS acquiring through VR Payment, working capital and investment loans, and access to public development bank programs (e.g., KfW) arranged via the cooperative group. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank; deposits are protected by the statutory BVR Institutssicherung (up to 100,000 euros per depositor) and the cooperative sector’s additional institutional protection scheme that aims to prevent bank failure. Pricing, eligibility, and product conditions are governed by the bank’s Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis and may include monthly account fees, card fees, and charges for out-of-network services; account opening generally requires standard German KYC documentation and a local address, and service availability outside the core region can be limited.
