team of Volksbank is extremely innovative, creative and open-minded towards new ideas and products. Especially now, 
when the German economy needs to look towards the future, innovative solutions and partnerships are a necessity to 
ensure the availability of sufficient capital to finance innovation and growth. This significant collaboration in the 
cooperative sector, together with the partnerships already established, illustrate that digital platforms are an 
important addition to the financing mix of German SMEs."

part of our identity. We are happy to have found another partner in creditshelf that fits into this equation. The SME 
corporate banking business in particular holds a lot of potential for digital and innovative solutions. Through this 
new partnership, we can offer our customers a meaningful, complementary financing solution."
