About VR-Bank Fichtelgebirge-Frankenwald eG

VR-Bank Fichtelgebirge-Frankenwald eG is a regional cooperative bank in northern Bavaria that serves private and corporate customers in the Fichtelgebirge and Frankenwald areas. It operates branches and self-service terminals in its market region and provides standard retail and business banking services including current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, mortgages, business accounts, working-capital and investment financing, and payment services. Digital access is offered via online banking and the VR BankingApp, with card payments supported through girocard and credit cards; SEPA transfers are standard, and additional features depend on the specific account and card products. As part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe, the bank distributes products from network partners such as Union Investment (investments), R+V Versicherung (insurance), Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall (building savings), and VR Payment (merchant acquiring). Customers can become cooperative members by subscribing shares, with participation rights under German cooperative law; membership does not replace product-specific eligibility or risk assessments. Deposits are protected by the BVR Institutssicherung GmbH, the institutional protection scheme of the cooperative financial network, and the bank also belongs to the voluntary BVR Sicherungseinrichtung; coverage and limits follow the applicable scheme rules and legal requirements. The institution is subject to German banking regulation and supervision (BaFin and Deutsche Bundesbank). Fees, interest rates, and conditions vary by product and are set out in the bank’s Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis and contractual documents; identification and onboarding follow German KYC/AML rules, typically via in-branch or video identification.
