Payment services typically include SEPA transfers, girocard and credit/debit cards, and access to the BankCard ServiceNetz ATM network; support for major mobile wallets (e.g., Apple Pay and Google Pay) is generally available via the VR Banking App, alongside online banking and secure authentication methods. Investment and insurance solutions are provided through network partners common to the cooperative sector, such as Union Investment for funds, R+V Versicherung for insurance, and Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall for home savings contracts; securities brokerage and custody are available subject to product-specific risks and costs. Fee structures are account-model based, with monthly package prices and usage-dependent charges for services and cards; interest conditions are variable and published by the bank. Deposits are protected by the cooperative sector’s BVR Institutssicherung GmbH as the statutory deposit guarantee scheme up to 100,000 euros per depositor per institution, supplemented by the cooperative institutional protection system (Sicherungseinrichtung des BVR). The bank operates under German banking law and is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. As a cooperative, customers can become members by acquiring shares, with member rights (including voting) and any dividend subject to the bank’s annual results and assembly resolutions; annual reports and regulatory disclosures provide further detail on performance and risk.
