Further down you will find the practical questions: receiving money at Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG, sending money abroad and how to check the code before you hit send. The SWIFT code alone cannot identify a personal account; for that you need the IBAN or account number .

SEPA payments and the Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG BIC

Germany is a member of the SEPA area, the zone for uniform euro payments. For a regular euro transfer within SEPA, you normally only need the IBAN and the BIC is often filled in automatically.

For anything other than euros and from non-SEPA countries, RABGDE71XXX or RABGDE71 remains required. If your banking app asks for the BIC anyway, entering RABGDE71 is fine.

Euro payments within SEPA normally land by the next business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. As long as no currency is converted, a SEPA transfer is cheap; it is the conversion that costs money.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Most accounts at Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG are usually held in EUR, the local currency of Germany. If you send money in a different currency, the amount gets converted at some point: by your bank, an intermediary or Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG itself. There is rarely a separate charge for that conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who converts the money matters, because each party uses its own rate. In many cases you pay less if you send EUR straight away through a provider that converts near the mid-market rate.

The EUR rate fluctuates throughout the day. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate add up over a year.

What the XXX in RABGDE71XXX means

The structure of a BIC is always the same: four characters for the institution, two for the country and a two-character location code, plus an optional branch code. The result is RABGDE71 for Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG.

Most payment forms accept both lengths. If a form asks for eleven characters, use RABGDE71XXX; if it wants eight, use RABGDE71.

Leave out spaces, dots when you enter RABGDE71. Watch for O versus 0 and I versus 1, a common source of typos.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect bank codes using public sources and check them from time to time. Institutions merge, change names and retire codes. The figures on this page are based on our own data and not on information from Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG itself.

Treat this page as a starting point, not as the last word. We are an independent comparison service and not part of Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG. If you notice a mistake, we welcome a short note.

Head office or branch code at Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG?

Our directory lists 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG. Besides the head office code RABGDE71XXX, there are codes for regional offices and specialised units.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code RABGDE71XXX is the right choice. If you have been given a branch code, use it as it is rather than replacing it for the head office code.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired over time, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Incoming international payments to Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG

When you expect a payment from another country, send the payer everything they need in one go. Share your name as the bank knows it, the IBAN or account number, SWIFT code RABGDE71XXX and your address.

Certain banks want the bank’s address. A mistake in your account number can be harder to fix than it looks, so copy the details from your online banking.

Do not be surprised if the amount credited is smaller than the amount on the sender’s receipt. Correspondent banks can take a fee and your own bank may charge for processing, and if the money is converted, a markup on the rate comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.

Changed bank details? Be careful

A common scam works like this: an email arrives with a request claiming that a company now has a new bank account and that the next payment should go there. A valid SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account.

Do not rely on contact details in the same message that contains the new account. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. If money was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away.

Scams can also work the other way. Someone sends too much and wants you to return the difference. Do not act before the money has really arrived and check with Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG if anything seems off.

How long does an international transfer to Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG take?

How fast a transfer reaches Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG is determined by several factors: the currency, the number of banks in between, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments can also add a delay, regardless of the details.

If a transfer is late, contact the sending bank about the status and the transaction reference; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Specialist transfer services usually provide tracking in their app showing how far the money is.

If the money does not arrive after a few business days, the sender should start with their own bank rather than Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG. On the receiving end, it helps to look at your account to see a slightly lower amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Is RABGDE71 still correct? How to check

The best place to find the correct BIC is a document from the bank itself. Check it against RABGDE71 here; if they differ, ask before you pay.

With a wrong code, the transfer might be delayed, bounce back or end up costing more – sometimes after weeks of searching. An error in the account number can be more serious because it can reach the wrong person.

An automatic check in your banking app only confirms that the code exists, not that it is the right account. If your bank offers it, a payee name check on the recipient adds extra certainty. For a first payment, some people send a small amount first and wait for confirmation.

What a transfer from Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG abroad really costs

An international bank payment costs rather more than the listed fee. Besides a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can take a cut, and when currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate below the real market rate.

That exchange rate margin is often the largest item because it is hidden in the rate. A simple test: put the bank’s rate next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

Specialised transfer providers often use rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. Before your next transfer, it is worth comparing what arrives on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can always keep your account at Raiffeisenbank Beuerberg-Eurasburg EG to fund the transfer.
