About VR Bank Alzey-Land-Schwabenheim eG

VR Bank Alzey-Land-Schwabenheim eG is a regional German cooperative bank serving private and business customers in and around Alzey and Schwabenheim in Rhineland-Palatinate. As part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe (Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken), it offers current accounts, savings products, cards, SEPA payments, and financing solutions such as consumer loans, mortgages, and business lending, alongside investment and securities services via group partners (e.g., Union Investment and DZ Bank), insurance through R+V Versicherung, and home savings contracts via Schwäbisch Hall. Access is provided through local branches, online banking, and the VR banking app; cash services and ATM withdrawals are available via the cooperative banks’ shared network, while card issuance typically includes girocard and optional credit cards, subject to fees and eligibility. Account models, pricing, interest rates, and limits vary by product and customer profile; standard identification and compliance checks apply. As a cooperative, the bank offers membership through the purchase of shares, granting voting rights and potential dividend participation; membership is separate from basic account usage and subject to the bank’s terms. Deposits are covered up to 100,000 euros per depositor under statutory German deposit protection; the bank also participates in the BVR institutional protection scheme (BVR Institutssicherung and the additional BVR Sicherungseinrichtung), which aims to prevent member bank insolvency but is not a statutory guarantee beyond legal coverage. The institution is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. The bank’s regional footprint may limit in-person access outside its core area, and some services—such as instant payments, specific card functions, or advanced digital features—may depend on group-wide infrastructure and may incur fees. Prospective customers should review the current price schedule (Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis), product sheets, and membership terms before opening an account or subscribing to ancillary services.
