Frequently asked questions about the customer data reporting form (Kundendaten-Meldebogen)

Please check to see whether you can find an answer to your question here before contacting the Bundesbank.

7 results
  • Can I send the documents by email?

    No. All documents, in particular the customer data reporting form and notifications of changes to bank details, must be fully filled out, signed with legally binding effect and sent by post as originals.

  • From when can I use the Bundesbank’s services if I indicate that the data are immediately valid (“ab sofort”)?

    We request that you send originals of all necessary documents in their entirety in good time to ensure that they reach our customer data management team no later than ten business days prior to your first cash transaction. Please note that the documents to be completed by your account-carrying institution must also be made available to us in good time.

    In the event of extensive changes, please contact our customer data management team to discuss the notice period required.

  • What is the difference between an individual form and a collective reporting form for branches?

    An individual form is used to report a single customer master record. If, for example, you run several branches, your entries in the fields “Company/name” (Firma/Name) and “Commercial register” (Handelregister) are identical and their cash transactions are to be settled via a joint account, you can attach the collective reporting form for branches.

  • The customer data reporting form must contain the details of the bank account used for the settlement of fees and discrepancies. Can I also enter the bank account details of my cash-in-transit company here?

    No. In the customer data reporting form, a separate account belonging to the customer submitting the respective form must be given for the settlement of fees and discrepancies. Third-party bank details are not permissible.

  • Why do I have to fill out the Declaration of depositors in non-account-based payment procedures (individual or collective NiKo procedure), and what am I confirming here with my signature?

Where the person(s) who has (have) signed the Bundesbank’s form is (are) not the same as the account holder, the signing person(s) must also be identified with respect to the requirements of the Money Laundering Act.
