The bank building of the savings and loan association Vechta 1932 in the Große Straße

On February 25, 1894, 59 men from Vechta and the surrounding area signed the founding deed of the Vechta Savings and Loan Association eGmuH, whose first chairman (1894–98) was the businessman Max Middendorf.

In 1905 the balance sheet total exceeded one million marks for the first time. The savings and loan fund Langförden , which was the second nucleus for the later Volksbank Vechta eG, was founded in 1907. When inflation reached Vechta in 1923 , it resulted in total assets of 20,306,942,003,646,980.00 marks. The first commercial building was acquired by the Vechta savings and loan bank in 1932 on Grosse Strasse. In 1953 Spadaka Vechta had nine employees.

The bank's first branch opened in 1967 in the Oythe district of Vechta . A year later, a branch in Münsterstrasse followed. At this point in time, Volksbank had 982 members and total assets of 14 million DM.

In 1974 the Spadaka Vechta merged with the Spadaka Langförden. The two partners operated jointly as Volksbank Vechta-Langförden eG. The headquarters moved from Grosse Strasse in 1981 to its current location on Falkenrotter Strasse.

In 1990, 5260 members, 18,705 customers and 37,718 accounts were the highest in the history of Volksbank Vechta-Langförden eG. In the 100th anniversary year, the Hausstette savings and loan fund merged with Volksbank Vechta-Langförden eG. In 1995 a cooperation agreement was signed with Volksbank Lutten eG.

In May 2002 the main office, which had been gutted and renovated for three years, was completed in its current form.
