About VR-Bank Main-Rhön eG

VR-Bank Main-Rhön eG is a cooperative retail and commercial bank serving the Main-Rhön region of northern Bavaria within the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken. It offers standard current accounts with tiered monthly fees, youth and student variants, joint accounts, and savings options, alongside overdrafts, consumer loans, mortgages, and financing for self-employed customers and SMEs. Securities and investment funds are typically distributed via group partners (e.g., Union Investment and DZ BANK), with building society contracts, insurance, and pensions available through affiliated providers in the cooperative network. Business clients can access dedicated accounts, card and acquiring services, POS and e-commerce solutions via VR Payment, and cash management including EBICS. Online banking and the VR Banking App support everyday transactions, standing orders, SEPA payments, and two-factor authentication via app or TAN generator; branch counters, self-service terminals, and phone support remain available, with hours varying by location. Cards include girocard debit and, on request, credit cards; cash withdrawals are free of charge at network ATMs within the BankCard ServiceNetz, with fees possible outside the alliance. International transfers are handled via SEPA and SWIFT where applicable. Pricing, interest, and limits are published in the bank’s Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis; paper-based services and out-of-network cash usage generally incur charges, and overdraft rates apply when used. As a cooperative, customers can become members by subscribing to shares with voting rights; dividends are not guaranteed and depend on results. Deposits are protected up to EUR 100,000 per person under the German statutory scheme via BVR Institutssicherung; the group also maintains an institutional protection mechanism. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank, and customer complaints can be escalated to the cooperative banking ombudsman if needed.
