About VR Bank Nord eG

VR Bank Nord eG is a German cooperative bank (eingetragene Genossenschaft) operating in northern Schleswig-Holstein, with a regional focus on areas such as Nordfriesland, Schleswig-Flensburg, and the city of Flensburg. As part of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken, it offers standard retail and SME banking services, including current and savings accounts, consumer and mortgage lending, business and agricultural finance, payments, and securities services via group providers; typical partners within the network include DZ BANK, Union Investment, R+V Versicherung, Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, and group brokerage/custody service providers. Account models generally carry monthly fees that vary by feature set; girocard and credit cards are available for an annual fee, with free cash withdrawals typically limited to the BankCard ServiceNetz ATM alliance and charges applying at third-party ATMs or abroad. Digital channels include online banking and the VR Banking App, with PSD2-compliant strong customer authentication (e.g., VR SecureGo plus or chipTAN); Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported for eligible cards, and SEPA transfers/direct debits are standard. Credit decisions are based on creditworthiness and income documentation; overdraft facilities, installment loans, and real estate financing are available, with pricing subject to risk-based adjustments. Securities accounts and fund savings plans can be set up through the cooperative group’s platforms; costs follow published price schedules and statutory disclosure rules. Deposits are covered up to 100,000 EUR per depositor under the BVR Institutssicherung statutory scheme; the sector’s institutional protection system is designed to stabilize member institutions but does not create an additional individual legal claim beyond statutory coverage. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank, publishes annual financial statements under HGB, and operates under GDPR and German AML/KYC requirements. Customers may acquire cooperative shares and voting rights subject to membership terms; dividends on shares depend on annual results and member resolution. Nonresident onboarding and services in languages other than German are limited, and product availability can differ by branch and customer segment.
