As a cooperative institution, customers can become members by subscribing cooperative shares, gaining voting rights on a one-member-one-vote basis; any dividend on shares is variable and not guaranteed. The bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank, and customer deposits are protected by the cooperative institutional protection scheme (BVR-Sicherungseinrichtung) and the statutory deposit guarantee via BVR Institutssicherung GmbH, with coverage for eligible deposits up to 100,000 euros per depositor; the institutional scheme is designed to prevent insolvency of member institutions. Branch services are complemented by self-service terminals, while opening hours, product availability, and conditions can differ by location and are subject to change under ongoing sector adjustments and regulatory requirements.
