Changed bank details? Be careful

Be wary if a contact unexpectedly wants you to pay into another account abroad. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Do not trust a phone number in the same message that announces the change. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet tend to be warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. Acted too fast? Call your bank straight away and have them try to recall the payment.

Scams can also work the other way: someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra to a new account. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Germany uses the Euro (EUR). When you pay money in a different currency it has to be converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or BNP Paribas S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland (Formerly Cortal Consors S.a)Deutschland itself. There is rarely a separate charge for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who converts the payment makes a difference. Transferring the money directly in EUR often avoids an extra conversion at the receiving end, provided the rate you get is fair.

Rates for EUR move all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. For regular payments, small differences in the rate make a real difference over time.

Paying BNP Paribas S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland (Formerly Cortal Consors S.a)Deutschland in euros within SEPA

Because Germany is part of SEPA, a euro payment to BNP Paribas S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland (Formerly Cortal Consors S.a)Deutschland from within the SEPA area usually requires just an IBAN. Most banking apps no longer ask for the BIC in that case.

SEPA transfers normally land within one business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. Charges on SEPA payments are generally low.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to BNP Paribas S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland (Formerly Cortal Consors S.a)Deutschland

There is no single delivery time for international payments: some arrive within a day. Bank holidays in either country can add extra days. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause some delay.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank for the tracking status; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Save the payment confirmation until the money has arrived; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A delayed transfer is traced by the sending bank on the basis of the transfer details. As a recipient, it helps to look at your statements to see a partial amount.

8 or 11 characters: CSDBDE71 versus CSDBDE71XXX

The structure of a BIC is always the same: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and two for the location, plus an optional branch code. In this case, the 8-character core is CSDBDE71.

Many payment forms work with either length. If yours requires eleven characters, use CSDBDE71XXX; if it wants eight, use CSDBDE71.

Leave out spaces or dashes when you enter CSDBDE71. Look out for O versus 0 and the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.

Paying someone abroad from your BNP Paribas S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland (Formerly Cortal Consors S.a)Deutschland account

The price of a payment abroad has more than one component. Besides a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can take a cut, and if the money changes currency the bank often uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

That exchange rate margin is often the biggest item. An easy check: set the rate you get against the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

For many routes, a specialist provider is cheaper than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. Next time you send money, it is worth comparing what arrives via GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. Choosing a specialist does not require leaving BNP Paribas S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland (Formerly Cortal Consors S.a)Deutschland.

Is CSDBDE71 still correct? How to check

The most reliable source for the BIC is the recipient’s own bank details: an invoice, a bank statement or their online banking. Compare it with CSDBDE71 on this page and ask if anything does not match.

If the code is wrong, the transfer might get stuck, bounce back or end up costing more – sometimes after weeks of searching. A mistake in the account number is more serious; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps check the format of an IBAN and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. Some banks now compare the name against the account. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small amount first.
