## 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+

## 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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| SEPA Instant Credit TransferISO 20022 messages | 2018-07-10 | Head office | — |
| SEPA Direct Debit CoreISO 20022 messages | 2010-11-01 | Head office | — |

| T2 (Eurosystem real-time gross settlement)ISO 20022 messages | — | Head office | — |
| TIPS (TARGET Instant Payment 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. TIPS entries have no joining date.

An institution missing from T2 may still be reachable through an indirect participant. The ECB’s TIPS list does not separate participants from reachable parties. It includes institutions reachable in Swedish kronor as well as in euro.

“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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 37050198 | COLSDE33XXX | Sparkasse KölnBonn | Köln |
| 38050000 | COLSDE33BON | Sparkasse Bonn -alt- | Bonn |

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.

## Network

### Branch network

All 3 branch BICs connect to the head office. They are all in Koeln, and no function or registration year splits them further.

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.
