It offers standard retail and small-business banking services, including current accounts, savings and term deposits, consumer and mortgage lending, investment and insurance brokerage through cooperative partners, and payment services. Business customers typically get working-capital and investment financing, commercial real estate loans, and merchant services via the group’s payments subsidiaries; pricing and availability follow the published price and service schedule and can vary by account model, transaction volume, and channel. Access is provided through local branches, ATMs within the BankCard ServiceNet, online banking, and the group’s mobile app with app-based TAN and chipTAN authentication; card blocking is available 24/7 via 116 116. Card options generally include girocard and credit cards (Mastercard/Visa) with annual fees dependent on tier; cash deposits and withdrawals are supported at designated self-service machines and counters. As an eingetragene Genossenschaft, customers can become members by subscribing to cooperative shares; membership confers voting rights under the one-member/one-vote principle, and any dividend on shares is discretionary and subject to approval. Deposits fall under the institutional protection scheme of the National Association of German Cooperative Banks (BVR), which is recognized as a deposit guarantee scheme up to 100,000 EUR per depositor, with the institutional protection aiming to prevent insolvency. The bank is subject to German regulation and supervision (BaFin and Deutsche Bundesbank) and participates in the BVR ombudsman scheme for out-of-court dispute resolution. Account opening usually requires standard identification under German AML rules and may be limited to residents or customers with a regional connection; online onboarding is available for selected products. Interest rates, fees, and product conditions are published in branch and online; foreign payments are supported via SEPA and SWIFT according to the current fee schedule.
