⚠️ Critical Money Transfer Warning (YMYL)

Verify the BIC with your beneficiary bank: Database records are informational only. swiftbic.org is not affiliated with SWIFT. Always verify the SWIFT/BIC code and name of the beneficiary with the receiving bank or official registration records before initiating any international wire transfer.

Common Mistakes: Do not confuse the SWIFT/BIC code (identifies the bank branch) with the IBAN (identifies the specific bank account). Using an incorrect branch suffix or a deactivated code can result in payments being returned, delayed, or subject to significant administrative return fees.

What is the difference between an 8-character and an 11-character BIC?

An 8-character BIC (BIC8) identifies an institution's primary head office, while an 11-character BIC (BIC11) specifies a distinct branch or department. Appending 'XXX' to GENODES1 forms the conventional head-office branch suffix; both formats route validly on the network.

Do I need an IBAN as well as GENODES1BPF?

SWIFT codes like GENODES1BPF identify the bank institution, while IBANs (ISO 13616) identify the individual customer account. Within SEPA (ECB SEPA), IBANs are sufficient for routing; outside SEPA, both SWIFT BIC and account number are typically required.

What happens if I use the wrong SWIFT/BIC code?

Using an incorrect code can delay transfers, cause payment returns, or route funds to an incorrect institution. Correspondent banks along the route may charge return processing fees, and currency conversion losses may occur. Always verify details with the beneficiary.

How long does a payment using GENODES1BPF take to arrive?

International SWIFT wires typically settle within 1 to 5 business days, depending on time zones, clearing cut-offs, correspondent hops (BIS CPMI), and compliance checks.

Why does my payment need an intermediary or correspondent bank?

When sending and receiving banks lack direct clearing accounts, transfers route through intermediary correspondent banks (BIS CPMI) that maintain shared Nostro/Vostro accounts. Each hop may deduct a handling fee.

Is GENODES1BPF the same as a domestic clearing code in Germany?

No. GENODES1BPF is an international ISO 9362 SWIFT BIC. Domestic transfers in Germany clear through undefined under [object Object] oversight (primary currency: EUR). SWIFT BICs route cross-border transactions.
