About Cooperative Bank of Karditsa Coop. L.L.

Cooperative Bank of Karditsa Coop. L.L. is a member-owned cooperative credit institution based in Karditsa, Greece, operating primarily across the Thessaly region under the cooperative limited liability legal form. It provides standard retail and small-business banking services, including current and savings accounts, term deposits, domestic and SEPA payments, card services, and lending products such as consumer, mortgage, and business loans subject to credit assessment and collateral policies. The bank is licensed and supervised by the Bank of Greece within the European regulatory framework; eligible deposits are protected by the Hellenic Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund (TEKE) up to €100,000 per depositor, per bank, in line with EU rules. Payments are processed through Greek and SEPA infrastructures, with accounts using GR IBANs; electronic channels include internet banking for transfers, bill payments, and account information, while in-branch service remains a key distribution channel due to the bank’s limited geographic footprint. As a cooperative, ownership and voting rights are tied to member shares under a one-member-one-vote framework, and subscription to cooperative shares may be required for membership or access to certain services; tariffs, interest rates, lending criteria, and collateral requirements are published by the bank and can differ from those of larger nationwide institutions. Participation in public guarantee or co-financing programs for micro and small enterprises has occurred at times subject to program availability and eligibility rules. Constraints typical of a regional cooperative—such as a smaller branch network, concentration in a single area, and a narrower product set—can influence pricing, limits, and turnaround times; account opening follows Greek KYC/AML requirements and may require in-person verification. Prospective clients should confirm current branch coverage, digital functionality, fees and rates, deposit protection terms, and any membership obligations before proceeding.
