In 1886 the mayor Karl Lehr from Duisburg took over the chairmanship of the association, which in 1890 moved to Berlin was relocated. From here on June 20, 1891 the establishment of the "Rheinisch-Westfälischer Sparkassenverband" was initiated. On January 23, 1892, Sparkassenrendant Killer from Siegen applied for the introduction of professional cash audits for the association assembly in Dortmund .

In 1922, Landesbankrat a. D. Cremer took over the management of the association and had the association converted into a registered association on December 16, 1922 to acquire legal capacity. There was a change in association manager in October 1924 with Landesbank director Schierjott. The Sparkasse School Düsseldorf was founded on January 10, 1930. Due to changes in political power, there was a ban on municipal loans on August 5, 1931 and a new ordinance on the savings banks as well as the municipal giro associations and municipal credit institutions on July 20, 1932. The Prussian State Ministry regarding the establishment of the "Rheinische Sparkassen- und Giroverband" issued a decree on December 29, 1932 with effect from January 1, 1933.

After the end of the war in 1945, the Rhine Province was divided into a part of North Rhine ( British zone of occupation ) and the southern part was incorporated into the province of Rhineland-Hesse-Nassau ( French zone of occupation ). To safeguard the interests of the savings banks in this area, a branch was set up in Sankt Goar , which was relocated to Neuwied in 1947 and to Koblenz in 1949 . The form set up by the association in 1945 was transferred to Deutsche Sparkassenverlag in 1949 . On August 4, 1949, the association assembly in Düsseldorf decided to adopt the new association statutes and the democratic order could be reintroduced. On November 29, 1951, Minister of Finance a. D.
