Discrepancy documents
-
In future, discrepancy information and the information on your account being credited/debited will be provided exclusively in electronic form. In special cases (e.g. confirmations of receipt regarding counterfeit money and reimbursement applications), documents will continue to be sent by post.
-
No, from 10 July 2024 onwards, documents will generally be provided electronically via the Bundesbank’s ExtraNet. Registration via the “External customer support – cash payments” team (see contact) is necessary for this.
-
If you require items such as container cards, safe bags, etc. in their original form, you can request these from the Bundesbank branch responsible, stating the respective process.
-
If, for example, a deposited safe bag or container card has legible information on it that may be helpful for explaining discrepancies, the Bundesbank branches have the option of transferring this information when recording discrepancies so that the safe bags or container cards or corresponding copies do not need to be sent. This requires the information to be legible; it can be up to 240 characters long.
Looking ahead, it is envisaged that this information will be able to be provided when a lodgement notification is sent.
-
After logging into the Filetransfer area of the ExtraNet, select the function “1b Filetransfer: Rückmeldungen zu Geldbestellungen, Einzahlungsavisen, Differenzunterlagen und Entgeltabrechnungen (Download)” – (1b Filetransfer: response regarding cash orders, lodgement notifications, discrepancy documents and fee statements (download)).
In the event of a discrepancy, we will provide you with a number of documents. The files can be distinguished by the following abbreviations in the file name:
- DB: “Differenzbeleg” (discrepancy information)
- DG: “Differenzanschreiben SEPA-Gutschrift” (discrepancy letter SEPA credit)
- DL: “Differenzanschreiben SEPA-Lastschrift” (discrepancy letter SEPA direct debit)
- FS: “Kundenbeleg Fehlbetrag Storno” (customer information shortage cancellation)
- MS: “Kundenbeleg Mehrbetrag Storno” (customer information surplus cancellation)
The files will be available for download for 60 days and can also be downloaded multiple times.
Once the download has been confirmed, it is no longer possible to download the files again.
-
No, this is not possible. In this case, please contact your local Bundesbank branch.
