[3] Starting that year, the mail-order company Quelle offered to finance its products via Noris purchase aid.

The business objective was to expand the financing of the entire supply of Quelle and its subsidiaries in the mail order and in the stationery sector.

The name change was accompanied by an expansion of the product range to include banking services such as checking and savings accounts.

The reason for the takeover of the previously independent Verbraucherbank GmbH was the acquisition of the first German customer self-service system.

[4] The Noris Verbraucherbank GmbH was part of Quelle Group until the end of 1997 and was sold to Bayerische Vereinsbank on 19 June 1997.

On 1 October 2003, DZ Bank became the new owner of Norisbank AG for a purchase price of EUR 180 million.

In the course of the sale to 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.
