About Volksbank Vechta eG

Volksbank Vechta eG is a regional cooperative bank based in Lower Saxony that operates within the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network and focuses on retail customers, self-employed individuals, and small and medium-sized enterprises in its local market. As a member-owned institution, it issues cooperative shares to customers who choose to become members subject to the bank’s terms and capital requirements. The product range typically includes current accounts with tiered account models, savings and term deposit options, consumer credit, mortgages and construction financing (often in cooperation with partners from the cooperative financial network), as well as securities custody and investment funds distributed through affiliated providers. For businesses, the bank offers payment services, merchant acquiring via group partners, working-capital and investment loans, and support for agricultural clients common to the region. Payment cards generally comprise a girocard and optional Visa or Mastercard credit cards with 3-D Secure for online transactions; cash withdrawals are usually free at Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken ATMs across the BankCard ServiceNetz, with fees possible outside the network. Digital access is provided through online banking and the VR Banking app with PSD2-compliant strong customer authentication via app-based TAN or chipTAN procedures; standard SEPA transfers and direct debits are supported. Pricing is published in the bank’s schedule of prices and services, and interest conditions are product-specific and subject to change. Deposits are covered by the German statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 euros per depositor via BVR Institutssicherung GmbH; in addition, the institutional protection scheme of the National Association of German Cooperative Banks is designed to stabilize member institutions. Volksbank Vechta eG is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Product availability, fees, and lending terms depend on eligibility, creditworthiness, and applicable law, with advisory services provided through local branches and remote channels.
