This page is meant to help people who receives money at an account at Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) without mistakes. Remember that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the account: the IBAN or account number does that part.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Scammers regularly send fake invoices containing new bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Check changed payment details via a separate channel, not by replying to the message. Pressure and requests to keep it quiet tend to be warning signs; a genuine business can wait for you to check. When a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference to another account. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof.

Head office or branch code at Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch)?

Having 3 codes in 1 locations, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) belongs to the banks that use separate codes for parts of the organisation. The head office code remains DEUTATWWXXX.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code DEUTATWWXXX works fine. A branch code only makes sense when the account holder explicitly asks for it, which is more common for corporate accounts and trade services.

When in doubt, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes are more likely to be retired than DEUTATWWXXX when a bank merges or closes offices.

Sending money abroad from Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch)

A bank transfer abroad costs more than the listed fee. You pay the transfer fee, sometimes charges from correspondent banks in between and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

Many banks do not show the margin on the rate as a cost, but you pay it all the same. Compare the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares the amount that arrives with different providers, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. Choosing a specialist does not mean closing your account at Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch): you simply pay the service from your account.

Paying Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) in euros within SEPA

Since Austria is in the SEPA zone, a euro transfer into Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) from within the SEPA area usually requires just an IBAN. Most banking apps no longer ask for the BIC in that case.

You will still need DEUTATWWXXX for non-euro payments or money from outside the SEPA area. A few banks and apps also show a field for the BIC; in that case, fill in DEUTATWW or DEUTATWWXXX.

Instant payments in euros have become increasingly available within SEPA. As long as the payment stays in euros, a SEPA transfer is cheap.

How to check DEUTATWW before you pay

Ask the recipient to copy the bank details directly from a recent statement. If the code you have does not match DEUTATWW or DEUTATWWXXX, stop and ask: check with the recipient or with Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) directly.

Errors in the SWIFT code are annoying more than disastrous – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. A mistake in the account number can be a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps validate the structure of an IBAN. More and more banks compare the name against the account before you confirm – do not ignore a mismatch warning. Sending a small amount first is a sensible step for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Accounts at Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) are typically held in EUR, the local currency. If you send money in a different currency it gets converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, by Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) or by a bank in between. Each conversion eats into the amount, even when no fee is shown.

Which bank converts the payment makes a difference. Transferring the amount already in EUR often avoids an extra conversion by Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) – as long as your own rate is good.

Rates for EUR change all the time. On larger amounts, even small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch)

A SWIFT payment typically takes one to a few business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Payments made late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday usually start the next business day. Occasionally a bank asks about the purpose of a payment before releasing it.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact the sending bank for the status and the transaction reference. Save the payment confirmation.

If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender needs to contact their own bank rather than Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch). Request from the sender the payment receipt with the date and reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Getting paid from abroad into a Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch) account

When you are waiting for a payment from another country, send the payer a complete set of details. Share the account holder’s name, your account number or IBAN, the BIC DEUTATWWXXX and your address.

Certain sending banks want the name and address of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft Filiale Wien (Vienna Branch), so keep it at hand. A typo in your account number is harder to fix than it looks, so copy the details from your online banking.

The amount you receive is often lower than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and when currencies differ, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.

8 or 11 characters: DEUTATWW versus DEUTATWWXXX

A BIC is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters stand for the bank, characters five and six show the country and the two after that indicate the location. In this case, that core is DEUTATWW.

The 11-character version adds a three-character extension for a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, they simply mean the head office, so DEUTATWWXXX and DEUTATWW are interchangeable.

Do not add spaces or dashes when you type DEUTATWW. Pasting the code is safer than retyping it, because one wrong letter changes the bank.
