Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad SWIFT/BIC code

Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad SWIFT code: DEUTMYKL

DEUTMYKL and DEUTMYKLXXX are the short and the long form of the same bank identifier, and both lead to Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad in Kuala Lumpur. A SWIFT code shows the banks handling a payment which institution is meant to get the money, much like a postcode for banks. You will need it mainly for payments that cross a border.

Below we go through the practical side: money coming in from abroad, sending money abroad and how to check a SWIFT code before you confirm a payment. Keep in mind that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN does that part.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad

A SWIFT payment usually takes anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments can also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

A growing number of banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each gpi transfer carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Keep your transfer receipt until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace or a recall – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference.

Which of the 5 codes of Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad do you need?

Having 5 codes, Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad is one of the banks that register separate codes for branches and departments. The head office code is DEUTMYKLXXX.

Usually there is no need to look up a branch: transfers addressed to DEUTMYKLXXX reach Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad correctly. Just use a branch code when your contact explicitly asks for it, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes can change over time, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

About this information

We collect SWIFT/BIC codes from public sources and check them regularly. It is possible that a code here is out of date, for example after a merger. Figures such as the number of codes are from our directory and may differ from what Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad publishes.

Getting paid from abroad into a Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad account

If you are waiting for a payment from another country, give the sender all details at once. Give them the account holder’s name, your account number or IBAN, SWIFT code DEUTMYKLXXX and your address, which some banks require.

Certain sending banks want the name and address of Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad, so keep it at hand. Double-check every detail before you share them, because the sender’s bank usually copies them as is.

What lands in your account is often less than what was sent. Charges on incoming payments vary per bank – the price list of Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad tells you what applies. On invoices, it is common to state how the fees are split, so that nobody is left short.

DEUTMYKL or DEUTMYKLXXX – which one to use?

Each SWIFT/BIC code has the same eight core characters: four letters for the bank, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code. The result is DEUTMYKL for Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad.

Many payment forms work with either length. If a form requires eleven characters, enter DEUTMYKLXXX; if it wants eight, use DEUTMYKL.

Enter the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. A wrong letter may route a payment to another bank, so check it twice.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Stay alert if someone unexpectedly asks you to send money to a different account abroad. That DEUTMYKL is a real code is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Do not trust contact details from the same email that contains the new account. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. Acted too fast? Contact your bank without delay and have them start a recall; also report it to the police.

Fraud can also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent too much and wants you to return the extra to a new account. Do not act before the money is actually in your account.

Sending money abroad from Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad

The price of an international transfer is made up of several parts. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes charges from correspondent banks in between and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate: many banks convert at a rate that includes a margin. A simple test: put the rate you get next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

Specialised transfer providers frequently use rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares transfer providers next to each other so you can see the amount the recipient gets. You can always keep your account at Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad

Have the recipient copy the bank details straight from a recent statement. Compare it against DEUTMYKL on this page.

If the code is wrong, the payment may be delayed, be returned or end up costing more – sometimes after weeks of searching. A mistake in the account number is more serious, so check that just as carefully.

A format check by your bank merely tells you that the IBAN exists – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Some banks now compare the name against the account – do not ignore a mismatch warning. For a first payment, many people start with a small amount first and wait for confirmation.
