About Ruralnostra, Sociedad Cooperativa de Crédito Valenciana

Ruralnostra, Sociedad Cooperativa de Crédito Valenciana is a Spanish cooperative credit institution based in the Valencian Community that operates under national and EU banking rules applicable to entidades de crédito, with prudential oversight by the Banco de España and deposit protection through the Fondo de Garantía de Depósitos de Entidades de Crédito (coverage up to 100,000 euros per depositor and per entity for eligible deposits). Its activity centers on retail and small-business banking typical of rural cooperatives, including payment accounts, savings products, term deposits, consumer and business loans, mortgages, and card services, with distribution through a local branch network supplemented by online and mobile banking. As a cooperative, customers may be able to become members (socios) by subscribing cooperative capital; these instruments are distinct from deposits, carry risk, are not covered by the deposit guarantee scheme, and their remuneration and redemption conditions are defined in the cooperative’s statutes and offerings. Pricing for accounts, cards, transfers, and loans is set out in the entity’s official fee schedule (tarifas) and pre-contractual information, and interest rates depend on product features and market conditions; early repayment, overdraft usage, and incident fees are typically itemized in customer documentation. The institution must publish audited financial statements, solvency and risk disclosures, and customer complaint procedures, and it is subject to consumer protection, payments (PSD2/SCA), and anti-money laundering requirements. Strengths for prospective users include proximity to local decision-making and relationship lending, while limitations can include a geographically concentrated branch footprint and a product catalog that relies on third-party arrangements for certain insurance or investment services; prospective clients should review the latest terms, eligibility criteria, and service availability on the entity’s official channels before contracting.
