Norisbank The Norisbank GmbH is a German bank with headquarters in Bonn . Since 2 November 2006 , it has been a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank and since 27 July 2012 purely a direct bank . History . The roots of Norisbank date back to the year 1954 . Starting that year , the mail-order company Quelle offered to finance its products via the Noris purchase aid . On 4 June 1965 , the Noris Kreditbank GmbH was founded in Nuremberg . The business objective was to expand the financing of the entire supply of Quelle and its subsidiaries in the mail order and in the stationary sector . In the year 1969 the Noris purchase aid changed its name to Noris Bank GmbH . The name change was accompanied by an expansion of the product range to include banking services such as checking and savings accounts . In 1984 , the Norisbank GmbH merged with the Hamburg Verbraucherbank GmbH . The reason for the takeover of the previously independent Verbraucherbank GmbH was the acquisition of the first German customer self-service system . The Verbraucherbank had introduced the customer self-service in 1975 as the first financial institution in Germany , 1977 one of the first ATMs worldwide followed as well as the first online banking offer in Germany in 1980 . The Noris Verbraucherbank GmbH was part of the Quelle Group until the end of 1997 and was sold to Bayerische Vereinsbank on 19 June 1997 . It merged the Noris Verbraucherbank GmbH with the Franken WKV Bank GmbH ( founded in 1950 ) . In January 1999 , the Hypo Service Bank ( HSB ) , founded in 1991 , was integrated into Norisbank AG . In 2000 , Norisbank AG was the first bank on the Internet to offer loans with an online instant pledge . After uncertainties in 2002 , when the HypoVereinsbank was considering integrating the Norisbank into its own branch network , it was decided in December 2002 to sell the Norisbank . On 1 October 2003 , DZ Bank became the new owner of Norisbank AG for a purchase price of EUR 180 million . On August 3 , 2006 , the DZ Bank sold the 98 branches and the brand name Norisbank for 420 million Euros to the Deutsche Bank , which also took over the customer base . The Norisbank AG based in Nuremberg then renamed to Teambank AG Nuremberg , while the sold branches were continued by the newly founded Norisbank GmbH based in Frankfurt am Main . Corporate Development . In July 2005 , the Norisbank AG entered a new business field : the sale of its consumer credit easy credit , which was completely detached from other banking services , via installment credit stores in city centers , shopping malls and arterial roads in the city . Over the years , this market strategy has attracted 500,000 new customers . However , not all credit customers could be won as regular customers . In August 2006 , the bank had around 650,000 customers . In the course of the sale to the Deutsche Bank some services were limited : Thus , the number of self-service terminals in the branches was reduced , there were no online foreign transfers possible and the cash counter no longer accepted coins . On January 1 , 2008 , the classic counter traffic was completely ended . Since then , the branches have only been advisory offices with self-service zones . By the sale of Norisbank to the Deutsche Bank Group the Norisbank resigned from the ATM network CashPool on October 31 , 2006 and returned to the Cash Group . Because of its former affiliation with Hypovereinsbank , the Norisbank was already a member of the Cash Group until 2003 . The new business model saw itself as a direct bank with branches . In the 90 branches , customers were able to receive advice on issues such as investments and pension plans . Despite the advice in the branch , branch customers received the same conditions as through direct sales . On 1 October 2008 , the headquarter was moved to Berlin . As part of the restructuring , all branches were closed on 27 July 2012 and the Norisbank converted into a direct bank . Since then , banking transactions have been conducted by customers primarily via the Internet , via telephone banking and via the self-service terminals in Deutsche Banks branches . The 400 former branch employees were transferred without notice to Postbank , also a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank . Today , the Norisbank employs around fifty people ( mainly in management ) , and a large part of its banking services are provided by other employees within the Deutsche Bank Group . Since December 2014 , Bonn is the seat of the Norisbank . External links . - Official Website
