A note on our data

We collect bank codes from public sources and check them regularly. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes, so information can be out of date. The figures on this page reflect what is in our directory.

See our directory here as a handy check and rely on the recipient or Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee for the final confirmation. GoldexPay is independent of Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee; we are a comparison site for money transfers. If you notice something that is out of date, we welcome a short note.

Sending EUR to Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee

Germany pays in the Euro. If you send another currency, the amount gets converted at some point. There is rarely a separate charge for the conversion.

Who converts the money matters, because each party uses its own rate. Check how much EUR the recipient gets via different providers; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

The rate for EUR fluctuates constantly. On larger amounts, a small gap in the rate adds up quickly.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

One of the most common tricks goes like this: an email arrives with a request saying that a contact now has new bank details and asking you to pay there from now on. The fact that KRMIDE71 exists is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is legitimate.

Verify new payment details via a different channel, such as a phone number you already know, never via the email that asked for the change. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams can also target the receiver: someone sends too much 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.

How long does an international transfer to Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee take?

An international transfer usually needs anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Weekends and public holidays in either country can add a day or more. Sometimes a bank asks what the payment is for before releasing it.

If the money is late, contact your bank for the tracking status so they can trace it along the chain. Keep the payment confirmation; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A missing payment has to be traced by the sending bank on the basis of the transfer details. On the receiving end, you can check your statements for a slightly lower amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Paying Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee in euros within SEPA

Within the SEPA zone, euro payments to an account in Germany use common rules, so the IBAN does the job in most cases. The BIC field is usually optional or missing for those payments.

A SWIFT code like KRMIDE71 still come into play for payments in other currencies. If your banking app has a field for the BIC regardless, entering KRMIDE71 does no harm.

Instant payments in euros are widely available across SEPA. Provided the payment stays in euros, a SEPA transfer tends to be cheap; it is the conversion that costs money.

Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee: head office code versus branch codes

Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee uses 2 separate SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code; the rest belong to branches.

If nobody asks you for a branch code, go with KRMIDE71XXX. A branch code only makes sense when the account holder explicitly asks for it.

Not sure which code applies? Check with the recipient, or look at a recent statement from Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee. Codes can change when banks reorganise.

Incoming international payments to Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee

Someone abroad who wants to pay you needs a few details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. That means: your name as registered with Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code KRMIDE71XXX and, often, your address.

Their bank may also ask for the address of your bank, in which case the Rottach-Egern head office is the usual answer. A mistake in your account number can be more trouble than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

Expect that the incoming amount is below what the sender paid. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate applies. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees.

International transfers from Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee: the real cost

A bank transfer abroad can cost more than the listed fee. On top of the transfer fee, banks in between may deduct a fee, and if the money changes currency the bank often applies a rate below the actual market rate.

That exchange rate margin is often the largest item, and it is easy to miss. An easy check: set the bank’s rate next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service turns out to be cheaper than a bank, mainly because of the exchange rate. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across providers. Using a transfer service does not require closing your account at Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee: you simply pay the service from your account.

8 or 11 characters: KRMIDE71 versus KRMIDE71XXX

The structure of every SWIFT code never changes: four characters for the institution, two for the country and two for the location, sometimes followed by a branch code. For Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee, that core is KRMIDE71.

XXX at the end of KRMIDE71XXX does not stand for a placeholder or an error: it stands for the main office of Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee. Some forms insist on 11 characters, and then you simply add XXX behind KRMIDE71.

Leave out spaces when you type KRMIDE71. A single letter may route a payment to another bank, so copy it carefully.

How to check KRMIDE71 before you pay

Have the recipient copy the bank details straight from their online banking. If the code you have differs from KRMIDE71 or KRMIDE71XXX, do not guess – contact the recipient or Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee.

A wrong SWIFT code can cause delays, a payment being sent back or additional charges along the way. Remember the account number: a mistake there is more difficult to correct than a wrong BIC.

A format check in your banking app only confirms that the IBAN is valid, not that it is the right account. Where available, a name check before sending adds extra certainty. For a first payment, many people start with a small amount first before sending the rest.
