Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Laupheim-Illertal eG

Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Laupheim-Illertal eG is a regional German cooperative bank serving private clients, the self-employed, and small to mid-sized enterprises in and around the Laupheim and Illertal area. As a cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft), it is owned by member-shareholders who have voting rights; any distribution on cooperative shares depends on annual results and a members’ resolution. The bank offers standard retail and business banking products, including current accounts with tiered pricing, savings and term deposits, consumer and mortgage lending, and financing for companies and agricultural clients; it also provides securities custody and brokerage, investment funds distributed via cooperative partners, insurance products through the cooperative insurance network, building-society contracts, and payment services and card acceptance for merchants via the VR Payment infrastructure. Access is provided through local branches, the group’s ATM network, and digital channels with two-factor authentication in line with PSD2; SEPA payments are supported, and additional services may be available depending on the chosen account model. The bank is part of the German Cooperative Financial Network with DZ BANK as central institution and commonly works with group partners such as Union Investment, R+V Versicherung, and Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall; promotional loans from public programs (e.g., KfW) are typically intermediated subject to eligibility. Deposits are protected by the BVR Institutssicherung (the statutory deposit guarantee scheme for cooperative banks) up to 100,000 EUR per depositor, with additional institutional protection provided by the voluntary BVR protection scheme; the institution is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Fees, interest rates, limits, and availability of services are set in the bank’s price notices and terms and are subject to change; lending depends on creditworthiness and collateral. Customer complaints can be escalated to the cooperative banking ombudsman operated by the BVR.
