About Volksbank Sprockhövel eG.

Volksbank Sprockhövel eG is a regional cooperative bank based in Sprockhövel, operating under German law as a registered cooperative and supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. It focuses on retail and small to mid-sized business customers in its catchment area, offering current accounts, savings and term deposits, payment services, consumer loans, mortgages, and corporate financing. Customers typically choose from account packages with monthly fees and optional add-ons; specific pricing and service limits are set out in the bank’s price and service list. Card options usually include a girocard for domestic payments and cash withdrawals and, on request, credit cards issued through the cooperative network; contactless payments are standard, while access to mobile wallets depends on the card product and provider. Cash services are available at local branches and self-service machines, with nationwide cash withdrawals possible across the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken ATM network, subject to the conditions of the customer’s account and card. Online banking and the VR Banking app provide standard functions such as transfers, standing orders, and document inbox, with strong customer authentication in line with PSD2 and optional app-based TAN methods. As a cooperative, customers can become members and hold shares, with voting rights in the general assembly; membership terms and dividend entitlement are defined by the bank’s statutes. Deposits are protected up to 100,000 euros per depositor under the statutory scheme via BVR Institutssicherung GmbH, and the bank also belongs to the institutional protection scheme of the National Association of German Cooperative Banks (BVR). Lending requires credit assessment and collateral where applicable; eligibility for products generally requires residence or business operations in Germany and standard identification procedures. The bank’s local footprint supports in-person service, while geographic coverage outside its region is limited; customers reliant on digital-only workflows should review the current scope of online features and fees before opening an account.
