The Swift organization issues the Bank Identifier Numbers or BIC. The SWIFT code for its primary office is DEUTDEFF:
DEUT identifies Deutsche Bank
DE is the country code for Germany
FF is the code for Frankfurt
Deutsche Bank uses an extended code of 11 digits and has assigned branches or processing areas individual extended codes. The full name and address of the Beneficiary's Bank.
However, the FSA and approved reporting mechanisms (ARMs) have found the practical reality of implementation is much harder than first thought.
SWIFT Standards, a division of The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), handles the registration of these codes. Swift is owned by the network's members.
