About VR-Bank in Südniedersachsen eG

VR-Bank in Südniedersachsen eG is a regional German cooperative bank serving Southern Lower Saxony as part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network. Organized as an eingetragene Genossenschaft, it allows customers to acquire cooperative shares and exercise voting rights under the one-member-one-vote principle. The bank’s core offering covers retail and SME banking, including current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, mortgages, payments, and financing for self-employed and agricultural clients, alongside merchant and cash services. Pricing commonly uses tiered account models with monthly maintenance fees and charges for specific services (e.g., paper statements, third-party ATM withdrawals, international transfers), with conditions varying by account package and usage channel. Card products are typically girocard with optional Visa or Mastercard, usable across the cooperative BankCard ServiceNetz; fee policies for non-network ATM use depend on the card and tariff. Digital access is provided through online banking and the VR Banking App operated by Fiducia & GAD IT AG, with PSD2-compliant strong customer authentication (e.g., SecureGo plus pushTAN or chipTAN). Investment, pension, and insurance distribution generally leverages group companies such as Union Investment, R+V Versicherung, and Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, while wholesale and capital markets connectivity is routed via DZ BANK. Deposits are covered up to €100,000 per depositor by the BVR Institutssicherung GmbH (statutory deposit guarantee), supplemented by the cooperative sector’s institutional protection scheme. The institution is subject to supervision by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Availability of services such as instant payments, mobile wallet compatibility, and specific branch or advisory coverage depends on product configuration and may change; prospective customers should review current price schedules and terms before opening an account.
