history

In 1892, 77 members of the cooperative founded the Gütersloh Spar- und Leihbank eGmbH with 14,110 marks of initial capital, to whose founders and supervisory board members the mayor and later honorary citizen of Gütersloh Emil Mangelsdorf belonged. Ten years later, in 1902, the bank had 414 and in 1912 it had 967 members. In 1910 the name was changed to Gütersloher Bank eGmbH, and from 1942 the bank was renamed Volksbank Gütersloh eGmbH.

In 1886, the Gütersloher savings and loan association eGmbH was founded. In 1933 the bank merged with the Kattenstrother savings and loan association, which was founded in 1899, to form Gütersloher savings and loan association, which was converted into an eG in 1963 . In 1988 Gütersloher merged with the Avenwedde savings and loan fund, founded in 1886 .

In 1990, these two “original strands” of the bank, ie Gütersloher Spar- und Kreditkasse eG and Volksbank Gütersloh eGmbH, merged to form Volksbank Gütersloh eG. This was followed by mergers with the savings and loan bank Isselhorst (1996), with the Volksbank Rheda-Wiedenbrück (1999), with the Volksbanks Steinhagen and Peckeloh (both 2003) and with the Verler Volksbank (2004).

In 2004 the new Volksbank headquarters, planned by the Frankfurt office of Turkali Architects , was built on a plot of almost 6,000 m² across from Gütersloh Central Station .

The Volksbank Foundation was established in 2006 to promote voluntary work by citizens in the business area of ​​Volksbank Bielefeld-Gütersloh eG.

In April 2011, Volksbank Gütersloh and Stadtwerke Gütersloh founded the Energiegenossenschaft GrünEnergie eG, which finances projects for ecological energy generation.

In 2011 Volksbank Gütersloh celebrated its 125th anniversary. In November, in cooperation with a local restaurateur, she opened the "Bankery", a mixture of Volksbank branch and restaurant / café / bar, in a central location in downtown Gütersloh . Also in 2011, Volksbank Gütersloh set up its first drive-in ATM at a branch in Spexard .

In 2014 Volksbank Gütersloh merged with Bielefelder Volksbank . In the previous year, Volksbank Gütersloh had total assets of EUR 2,201 million, deposits of EUR 1,688 million, 561 employees and 62,983 members. At the time of the merger, Bielefelder Volksbank had 37,206 members.

In October 2016, Volksbank Bielefeld-Gütersloh and Volksbank eG (Warendorf) announced a cooperation that should lead to a merger in 2018. However, the merger talks were broken off in March 2017 after differing views on a merger.
