As an eingetragene Genossenschaft, it is owned by member‑shareholders who can acquire cooperative shares and exercise voting rights; any dividend is determined by the annual members’ meeting. The bank provides retail and SME banking, including current accounts, savings and term deposits, payments, cards, consumer credit, mortgages and construction financing, business lending and cash management, as well as investment and insurance products distributed via the cooperative financial network (for example through Union Investment, R+V Versicherung, Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall and the DZ BANK Group). Access is via local branches, online banking and the VR Banking app, and cash withdrawals are available across the BankCard ServiceNetz of Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken. Deposits are protected by BVR Institutssicherung GmbH up to 100,000 euros per depositor, supplemented by the additional institutional protection scheme of the cooperative sector; the bank is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Account and service packages are generally fee‑based with tiered features, and the current price and service directory is published on the bank’s website. The bank supports SEPA payments and operates under EU and German regulatory frameworks including PSD2 (strong customer authentication) and MiFID II for investment services.
