Fees and interest rates are product-specific and published in the bank’s Preis- und Leistungsverzeichnis; charges may apply for account packages, cards, ATM withdrawals outside the Sparkassen network, foreign currency transactions, securities custody, and overdrafts. The bank is subject to supervision by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank and operates under Baden-Württemberg’s savings bank law. Deposits are protected by the statutory German deposit guarantee up to 100,000 euros per depositor and by the institutional protection scheme of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. Account opening requires standard identification (in-branch or video identification), with youth, student, and business account options available; some offerings may be limited to the regional market area.
