Incoming international payments to Kreissparkasse Muenchen Starnberg Ebersberg

When you are waiting for money from abroad, give the sender everything they need in one go. That means: your name exactly as it appears on the account, your IBAN or account number, the BIC BYLADEM1EBE (or BYLADEM1) and, often, your postal address.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Criminals regularly send fake invoices with changed bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. The fact that BYLADEM1 exists is no guarantee that the account is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Do not rely on contact details from the same email that contains the new account. Be suspicious of time pressure, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. Acted too fast? Contact the bank you paid from straight away and ask them to try to recall the payment; also report it to the police.

Scams also target the receiver. Someone sends more than agreed and wants you to refund the difference. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof – check your own account.

How long does an international transfer to Kreissparkasse Muenchen Starnberg Ebersberg take?

A SWIFT payment typically needs one to a few business days. Payments made after the cut-off time or on a weekend or public holiday often start a business day later. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask your bank about the status; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Specialist transfer services usually show tracking in their app showing how far the payment is.

If the money does not arrive after a few business days, the person who paid should start with their own bank, not the receiving bank. On the receiving end, you can check your account for a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

International transfers from Kreissparkasse Muenchen Starnberg Ebersberg: the real cost

The price of an international transfer has several parts, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. Besides the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can take a cut, and when currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

Banks rarely show the margin on the rate as a cost, but you pay it all the same. An easy check: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

For a lot of routes, a specialist provider turns out to be less expensive than a bank. GoldexPay lists these services next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets for the same amount sent. You can still keep your account at Kreissparkasse Muenchen Starnberg Ebersberg, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

The local currency of Germany is the Euro (EUR). If you send another currency gets converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Kreissparkasse Muenchen Starnberg Ebersberg itself. Every conversion eats into the amount, even when no fee is shown.
