Hannoversche Volksbank is one of the top-performing Volksbanks in Germany and has been active in the region for over a century.

In 2003 and 2005, following a strategic partnership that lasted several years, four Volksbanks merged to form what is now Hannoversche Volksbank. The entity formed by the merger of Volksbank Hannover, Lindener Volksbank, Volksbank Burgdorf-Celle, and Volksbank Garbsen merged with Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde in 2019.

With the merger of these long-established Volksbanks, Hannoversche Volksbank has now grown to more than 1,000 employees and over 80 branches. As a cooperative bank owned by its members and customers, Hannoversche Volksbank today has approximately 250,000 customers and half as many members.

The predecessor of Hannoversche Volksbank was founded in 1860 by various guilds in what was then the Kingdom of Hanover as a "Vorschussverein" (advance association). It is the oldest privately owned credit institution in the state capital.

Hannoversche Volksbank is also active and visible in the region beyond its core banking business. Since 2005, Hannoversche Volksbank has been partnering with the Bundesliga soccer club Hannover 96; since 2008, it has even served as a co-sponsor of the club. In addition, the bank is a regional partner of the handball team TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, known as “Die Recken.” To mark its 150th anniversary, the bank established the Hannoversche Volksbank Foundation, through which it supports nonprofit organizations and clubs in the region.
