Berliner Volksbank

Berliner Volksbank eG is a German cooperative bank at Bundesallee 206 in Berlin. It offers the Geschäftskonto, a business current account with a girocard and a BusinessCard credit card, plus models with advantages for members of the cooperative.

Opening

An account can be opened by phone. The online procedure supports only some legal forms, so companies outside those forms must use another route. This is a practical point for partnerships and associations, which are often not covered by standard online flows.

Regulation and protection

The bank is supervised by BaFin. Its deposit protection comes from BVR Institutssicherung GmbH, with additional voluntary BVR protection, as disclosed in the imprint. Registration details include cooperative register GnR 23 B at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, VAT number DE136634203 and bank code 10090000.

Who it suits

Berlin and Brandenburg freelancers, small businesses and associations that value a regional cooperative bank and in-person or telephone service, and that want the girocard network for everyday payments in Germany. Fees and the full list of documents are not given in the source material and should be requested before applying.
