Files can be transmitted using an internet browser or, for larger volumes of data, using an automatic procedure. We have also provided an Excel application for transmitting reports with small volumes of data. This application converts data entered into preformatted Excel tables into a BOPDIR file for transmission. It also performs plausibility checks on the reports.

With the relaunch of the general statistics reporting portal (AMS), you now have access to a simple, fast and safe submission route as an alternative to the existing Excel tool. Existing users will still be able to use the Excel tool for electronic submissions.

Registered users

Administration of your registration data/secondary registration

Within the user domain, you may view and change your personal registration data. You may also delete your user ID. If you are already registered for another procedure on the Bundesbank ExtraNet, you may log on here for an additional procedure without having to repeat the initial registration process.

Emergency assistance

Even if you do not know the user ID and/or password, this is where you can submit applications to block/unblock a user, reset his/her password or delete the user. The Bundesbank then decides how to proceed.

In certain circumstances, you may also have your password reset by telephone by calling the ExtraNet Call Centre zurücksetzen lassen. This may be necessary if, for example, you have forgotten your password or have entered it incorrectly three times in succession. However, you may only reset your password by telephone if, following a successful initial registration, you entered a question-answer combination by going to "Administration of your registration data / secondary registration", which serves as a security check.
