Using the general statistics reporting portal, reporting parties can create external payment and stock reports and send them to the Bundesbank in a secure electronic format. The system provides not only an overview of the reports already created but also allows reports that have already been sent to be corrected.

The main advantages of the reporting portal are

• High level of security
• Clear menu bar
• No additional downloads or software licences required
• Integrated interface for inserting your CSV files
• Interface for uploading XML files
• Third-party submitter option (they report on behalf of parties required to report: tax advisors, lawyers, notaries, parent companies etc.)

Note on the redesign of the General Statistics Reporting Portal

In addition to the Bundesbank ExtraNet, the Bundesbank is also planning to replace the General Statistics Reporting Portal (AMS) with a new development at the end of 2025.

The new AMS offers user-friendly operation, high transparency and compliance with the latest safety standards. As before, it offers the option of manually entering reports or uploading them via a CSV file. XML files will be uploaded to NExt in future. Registration and activation in NExt for the AWB or AWN business area is a prerequisite for using the AMS.

We will inform you promptly by email about other important aspects of the new design.
