We wrote this page to help people who sends money to an account at Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited. The BIC identifies a bank or branch, never a specific account; the IBAN or account number does that.

Head office or branch code at Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited?

Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited has 2 different SWIFT/BIC codes. One of them is the head office code; the rest belong to branches or departments.

If nobody asks you for a branch code, use DEUTIE21XXX or its short form DEUTIE21. If you have been given a branch code, use it as it is instead of replacing it with the head office code.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient which code their bank gave them. Branch codes are more prone to change than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.

How long does an international transfer to Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited take?

How fast a transfer arrives at Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited depends on several factors: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Weekends and public holidays in either country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Compliance checks by one of the banks may also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank about the status and the transaction reference so they can trace it along the chain. Specialist transfer services often show a status online so you can see how far the money is.

A missing payment has to be traced from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. On the receiving end, you can look at your account to see a slightly lower amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Ireland uses the Euro, code EUR. When you pay money in a different currency gets converted at some point: by your bank, an intermediary or Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited itself. Each conversion eats into the amount, even when no fee is shown.

Which bank converts the payment makes a difference. Sending the amount directly in EUR often prevents a second conversion, provided the rate you get is fair.

Exchange rates change all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. With bigger transfers, a seemingly small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Do you need DEUTIE21 for a SEPA transfer?

Since Ireland is part of SEPA, a euro transfer into Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited from within the SEPA area normally only needs an IBAN. Most banking apps do not require the BIC for these payments or fill it in for you.

The BIC still matter for payments in other currencies and when the money comes from outside SEPA. Some forms still show a field for the BIC out of habit; if so, enter DEUTIE21.

Euro payments within SEPA normally land by the next business day. Provided no currency is converted, a SEPA transfer tends to be inexpensive.

Why Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited has an 8- and an 11-character code

A SWIFT code is built from a few fixed parts: characters one to four stand for the bank, characters five and six give the country and the two after that mark the location. In this case, that core is DEUTIE21.

The full version has a three-character extension that identify a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office, which is why DEUTIE21XXX and DEUTIE21 lead to the same place.

Enter the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. Watch for O versus 0 and the letter I and the digit 1.

Sending money abroad from Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited

The price of a payment abroad is made up of more than one component – not just the fee on your screen. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and if the money changes currency the bank often uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate: many banks convert at a rate with a margin built in. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate.

Specialised transfer providers frequently offer rates closer to the mid-market rate. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across services. You can always keep your account at Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited to fund the transfer; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

A note on our data

We collect bank codes from public sources and check our list from time to time. It can happen that information here is out of date, for example after a merger. Figures such as the number of codes are from our own dataset.

Treat our directory here as a helpful check, and let the details from the recipient or Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited have the final say.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Criminals regularly send fake invoices with new bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. The fact that DEUTIE21 exists does not mean that the account is legitimate – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Do not rely on contact details in the same message that announces the change. Be suspicious of urgent requests, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment has already gone to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to send back the difference to another account. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof.

How to check DEUTIE21 before you pay

The best place to find the right code remains paperwork issued by the bank like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. When the code you were given differs from DEUTIE21 or DEUTIE21XXX, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited.

Mistakes in the BIC tend to be annoying more than fatal. Do not forget the account number: a mistake there is more difficult to undo than a wrong code.

An automatic check in your banking app merely tells you that the code exists, not that it is the right account. Some banks now compare the name with the account. For a first payment, some people send a small amount first.

Incoming international payments to Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited
