About VR - Bank Bad Salzungen Schmalkalden eG

VR-Bank Bad Salzungen Schmalkalden eG is a regional cooperative bank in Thuringia that serves private and business clients through a local branch network and standard digital channels. As a cooperative (eG), it is owned by members who can subscribe to shares and participate in governance via representative meetings; the institution is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank and is part of the National Association of German Cooperative Banks (BVR). Product scope covers current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, mortgages, and investment and pension solutions distributed through cooperative group partners (e.g., Union Investment and DZ BANK group offerings), along with building society contracts via Schwäbisch Hall and insurance from R+V. Businesses typically find payment accounts with EBICS access, merchant acquiring and terminals via VR Payment, POS and e-commerce solutions, working-capital finance, and classic corporate lending; agriculture and SMEs are a stated focus in many cooperative banks in the region. Day-to-day banking is available via the VR Banking App and web banking with strong customer authentication (e.g., VR SecureGo plus app or chip-TAN devices), support for SEPA transfers including instant payments where enabled, digital statements, and card management; girocard and credit cards usually support contactless payments and common mobile wallets. Cash access is provided through the nationwide Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken ATM network. Pricing follows account packages with monthly base fees and charges for selected transactions or paper services; business accounts are typically priced per transaction, and overdraft interest is set by the bank’s current price schedule. Deposits are protected by the German statutory scheme up to 100,000 EUR per depositor and the institutional protection scheme of the BVR, which aims to prevent insolvency at member institutions.
