</FinInstnId>This BIC is not connected to Swift. Messages reach the institution through a correspondent bank, so it cannot be the instructing or instructed agent.
Swift’s two address fields do not agree on a town, so the full record gives the address as address lines only.
The BIC, name and address are as published in Swift’s BIC directory. The LEI comes from the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file. Check them against your own records before use.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main Germany | GENODEFFXXX | DE96 5006 0400 0000 0114 04 | Matches the Swift directory |
The imprint has a single 'Bankverbindung' entry: the bank's account at DZ BANK, with IBAN and BIC (printed with spaces as 'GENO DE FF XXX'). It gives no currency; the DE IBAN suggests EUR, but this is not stated. No correspondent, nostro or SSI list was found in the site menus or on the investor relations and service pages. The Vertrags-IBAN page says customer payments must go to contract-specific IBANs, and that the payee BIC is not required. Each correspondent BIC is checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date. Confirm settlement instructions with the bank before relying on them.

Sources & method
Every value comes from a public source, such as Swift’s ISO 9362 BIC directory, GLEIF or the OFAC and EU sanctions lists. Most sources are matched on a BIC or an LEI, not on a name.
Swift GPI membership is matched on names and is indicative. A missing sanctions match does not mean that no listing applies. Always screen against the official lists.
The sanctions facts on this page cover the BIC and its LEI only.
An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page.
