## Profile
- **Type:** Financial institution
- **Regulation:** Not on a tracked register
- **Register licences:** None matched by LEI in the 22 tracked registersThe tracked registers cover payment, e-money, crypto and money-service firms in 37 countries. Bank licences from national supervisors are not tracked.

Types come from Swift’s BIC classification, the licences on the 22 tracked registers, and the ECB and FSB bank lists. Most banks outside the euro area appear as financial institutions, because their supervisors’ registers are not tracked yet.
No licence or registration was found for this entity on the 22 registers the directory tracks, or on the ECB and FSB bank lists. Most banks are licensed by national supervisors whose registers are not tracked yet. This does not mean that the institution is unregulated.
## Ownership and group
GLEIF relationship records
GLEIF’s relationship records name no parent for this LEI, and no group page is published for it.
## Addresses
- **Registered address:** FRIEDRICHSTRASSE 1 MUENSTER 48145 GERMANY
- **Operational address:** KAVALLERIESTR. 22 DUESSELDORF 40213 DUESSELDORF GERMANY
## ISO 20022 identification
As an agent in a Swift cross-border payment message (CBPR+)
A CBPR+ message identifies this institution by its BIC, and may add its LEI or a clearing code. CBPR+ does not allow a name and postal address next to a BIC.
- **Identified by:** BIC, with its LEI and its DEBLZ clearing code
- **Roles in CBPR+:** Any agent, including the instructing and instructed agents
### CBPR+
For cross-border payments on Swift: the BIC, with the LEI and clearing code where known
```xml
NRWBDEDMXXX
DEBLZ
30022000
52990002O5KK6XOGJ020
```
### Full record
Every ISO 20022 element the directory holds. Base ISO 20022 allows them together. CBPR+ does not allow a name and address next to a BIC
```xml
NRWBDEDMXXX
DEBLZ
30022000
52990002O5KK6XOGJ020
NRW. BANK
DE
FRIEDRICHSTRASSE 1 MUENSTER 48145
```
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.
## 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

| T2 (Eurosystem real-time gross settlement)ISO 20022 messages | — | Head office | — |
SEPA dates are when the institution became ready for the scheme. 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.
“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.
## National bank codes
### Bankleitzahl · Germany
2 codes valid until 2026-12-06 · ISO 20022 clearing system code DEBLZ
| Code | Routes to BIC | Name in the national file | City |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30022000 | NRWBDEDMXXX | NRW.BANK | Düsseldorf |
| 40022000 | NRWBDEDMMST | NRW.BANK | Münster |
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.

Clearstream Luxembourg account 13197 is used for Eurobonds and most markets, including US DTC/FBE settlement via Citibank. For Japan, the PDF lists HSBC Tokyo (HSBCJPJTXXX) accounts 009-030065-312/-313/-306 in favour of PARBDEFF. The NRW.BANK final account there is 1030026391E. All distinct accounts have been extracted. 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.

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)](https://elucidate.co/ratings) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
