About Volksbank Wittgenstein eG

Volksbank Wittgenstein eG is a regional cooperative bank serving the Wittgenstein area in North Rhine-Westphalia, organized as an eingetragene Genossenschaft with member ownership and voting rights at the general meeting; members may receive a dividend on cooperative shares if resolved. As part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe (Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken), the bank distributes a full retail and SME offering that typically includes current accounts with model-based pricing, savings and term deposits, payment services (SEPA transfers, standing orders, and instant payments where offered), girocard and international debit/credit cards, online and mobile banking via the VR Banking App, and access to cash through the nationwide BankCard ServiceNetz ATMs. Lending covers consumer financing, overdrafts, residential mortgages, and business credit; product manufacturing and infrastructure are largely delivered within the cooperative network, for example securities brokerage and custody via DZ BANK and related platforms, investment funds via Union Investment, insurance via R+V Versicherung, building savings and home finance components via Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, merchant acquiring via VR Payment, consumer or SME financing through partners such as TeamBank (easyCredit) or VR Smart Finanz, and core banking/IT via Fiducia & GAD IT. Corporate clients can expect business accounts, cash management, POS/e-commerce payment solutions, and advisory services aligned to regional mid-market and agricultural needs. Deposits are protected under the cooperative sector’s institutional protection scheme: BVR Institutssicherung GmbH provides the statutory deposit guarantee up to 100,000 EUR per depositor per bank, complemented by the additional BVR Schutzseinrichtung, which aims to prevent insolvency within the network. The institution operates under the German Banking Act and is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank; it publishes a Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis, general terms, and regulatory disclosures as required. Account opening, lending decisions, limits, and pricing depend on eligibility, regional focus, and creditworthiness; interest rates and fees are set by the bank and can change, so prospective customers should review the current price list and product information before entering into agreements.
