Payment schemes and systems
EPC registers of 2026-09-11 · ECB T2 list of 2026-07-02 · ECB TIPS list of 2026-09-01 · SIX Bank Master valid on 2026-09-28
| Scheme or system | Since | Registered with | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| T2 (Eurosystem real-time gross settlement)ISO 20022 messages | — | Branch BIC only | — |
The T2 list names direct participants only and gives no joining date.
An institution missing from T2 may still be reachable through an indirect participant.
A branch BIC counts only when its LEI or its listed name matches this institution.
“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.
National bank codes

| Code | Routes to BIC | Name in the national file | City |
|---|---|---|---|

Each code shows the name in the national file. Smaller banks often route through a central institution’s BIC. A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page.

Correspondent accounts
Researched 29 Sep 2026 · Sources
1 account at other banks, in 1 currency, for general bank account stated in the legal notice, as the bank publishes them: mercedes-benz-automotive-mobility.de ↗
| Currency | Correspondent | BIC | Account | Directory check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR | Commerzbank AG, Stuttgart Germany | DRESDEFF600 | DE22600800000960028000 | Matches the Swift directory |
The only published account is a single bank account (Bankverbindung) printed in the bank's legal-notice block. That block is reproduced on a Mercedes-Benz group affiliate's provider page. The page is undated and shows an outdated board list, so the account details may be stale. No correspondent-bank or SSI list was found, and the bank's own site now redirects to mercedes-benz.de. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a BIC
A BIC identifies an institution; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
