About VR-Bank Vereinigte eG

VR-Bank Vereinigte eG is a regional German cooperative bank (eingetragene Genossenschaft) within the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken network, offering standard retail and SME banking services including current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer loans, mortgages, securities custody, and payments. Account models generally carry monthly maintenance fees that vary by package and usage; pricing, interest rates, and service charges are set out in the Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis and can differ by customer segment and channel. Cards offered typically include a girocard (debit) and Mastercard or Visa credit cards via the cooperative network, with contactless capability and optional mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay where supported. Customers can access services through local branches, online banking, and the VR Banking App; strong customer authentication is implemented via methods such as VR SecureGo plus and chipTAN/photoTAN. The bank participates in the BankCard ServiceNetz, providing access to a large nationwide ATM network across the cooperative group, and supports SEPA credit transfers and direct debits; availability and pricing of SEPA Instant transfers, foreign payments, and cash services should be confirmed in the fee schedule. Brokerage, funds, and savings solutions are commonly provided through group partners (e.g., Union Investment), insurance through R+V, building society products via Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, and merchant services via VR Payment. As a cooperative, customers may acquire membership shares, which are equity in the institution subject to dividend decisions and statutory terms; shares are not deposits. Deposits are covered by the BVR Institutssicherung (recognized deposit guarantee scheme) up to the statutory limit of 100,000 euros per depositor, with institutional protection designed to prevent member insolvency. The bank is subject to German regulation (BaFin/Deutsche Bundesbank) and uses Atruvia AG’s IT infrastructure; data processing follows GDPR. Product availability and conditions can be region-specific, and applications are subject to standard identification and credit checks.
