Raiffeisenbank Teck EG SWIFT/BIC code

GENODES1 – the SWIFT/BIC code of Raiffeisenbank Teck EG

Whether you are given GENODES1 or GENODES1TEC, it is the identical address for Raiffeisenbank Teck EG in Germany. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses BIC codes to route payments between countries to the correct institution. In daily life you mostly come across the code on invoices from abroad, in your banking app and in the bank details of Raiffeisenbank Teck EG customers.

This page is meant to help people who pays into an account at Raiffeisenbank Teck EG. The BIC names a bank or branch, not a single account; the IBAN or account number does that.

GENODES1 or GENODES1TEC – which one to use?

Each SWIFT/BIC code starts with an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code. That gives you GENODES1, the short form of the code.

The 11-character version has a three-character extension that identify a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, they simply mean the head office, so GENODES1TEC and GENODES1 are interchangeable.

As a rule the code is typed in capitals, without spaces or dashes. Watch for O versus 0 and I versus 1; they are easy to mix up.

Getting paid from abroad into a Raiffeisenbank Teck EG account

If you are waiting for a payment from another country, send the payer all details at once. Give them your name as the bank knows it, your account number or IBAN, the BIC GENODES1TEC and your address.

You can include the bank name and its city too. A typo in your account number can be harder to fix than it looks.

The amount you receive is often less than what was sent. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and if the currency changes, a markup on the rate comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees.

Before you send: check the Raiffeisenbank Teck EG code

Ask the recipient to copy their bank details straight from their banking app. If the code you have differs from GENODES1 or GENODES1TEC, do not guess – contact the recipient or Raiffeisenbank Teck EG.

Errors in the BIC tend to be costly rather than disastrous. A mistake in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

Many banking apps validate the format of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. More and more banks check the payee name against the account before you confirm; take any warning seriously. For a first payment, many people start with a small test amount before sending the rest.

Sending money abroad from Raiffeisenbank Teck EG

When you transfer money abroad from Raiffeisenbank Teck EG, the fee you see is only part of the cost. You pay the transfer fee, sometimes fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

That exchange rate margin is often the largest cost, and it is easy to miss. Check their rate with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For many routes, a transfer service is cheaper than a bank – mostly thanks to the rate. Before your next transfer, take a minute to compare the total cost on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can always keep your account at Raiffeisenbank Teck EG.

How up to date is this code?

The details here are taken from public sources that we update regularly. It is possible that a code on this page is no longer current after a merger or reorganisation. Counts and locations are from our directory and may differ from what Raiffeisenbank Teck EG publishes.

Use this page as a reference, not as the last word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay has no connection to Raiffeisenbank Teck EG, we only compare transfer services. Spotted an error? Let us know via our contact form so we can correct it.

How long does an international transfer to Raiffeisenbank Teck EG take?

How fast a transfer reaches Raiffeisenbank Teck EG is determined by a few things: which currency you send, the number of banks in between, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country can add extra days to the journey. Extra checks by one of the banks may also add some delay.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact your bank for the status and the transaction reference. Money transfer services usually provide a status online showing where the money is.

If the money does not arrive within the expected time, the person who paid needs to start with the bank that sent it, not the receiving bank. Request from the sender a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference.

Sending EUR to Raiffeisenbank Teck EG

Germany uses the Euro, code EUR. When you pay money in a different currency it has to be converted somewhere along the way. There is rarely a separate line for that conversion.

Which bank converts the money makes a difference. Transferring the money already in EUR usually avoids a second conversion by Raiffeisenbank Teck EG.

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

Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Raiffeisenbank Teck EG

Raiffeisenbank Teck EG uses 2 different SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code, GENODES1TEC; the rest identify branches.

If nobody asks you for a branch code, use GENODES1TEC or its short form GENODES1. A branch code only makes sense when the recipient’s bank explicitly asks for it.

The best way is to copy the code straight from the account holder’s statement. Codes for branches are more likely to be retired than the head office code.

Euro transfers to Raiffeisenbank Teck EG: is a BIC needed?

Germany is part of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), the zone for standardised euro payments. For a standard euro transfer from another SEPA country, the IBAN is usually enough.

You will still need GENODES1TEC when sending payments in other currencies or transfers from countries outside SEPA. A few banks and apps still ask for the BIC; if so, enter GENODES1 or GENODES1TEC.

Instant payments in euros are widely supported across SEPA. As long as no currency is converted, a SEPA transfer is inexpensive.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Fraudsters often send payment requests with changed bank details. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Before paying, verify a change of bank details by phone on a number you know, not one from the message. Urgency and requests to keep it quiet tend to be red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. Acted too fast? Call the bank you paid from straight away and have them start a recall and report the fraud.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: one known trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to send back the difference abroad. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.
