Credit institutions / payment institutions How to become a business client

First steps

On a PC, fill out the customer data reporting form for credit institutions/payment institutions (see document on the right) with information about your institution.
You can find guidance for filling out the customer data reporting form (“Ausfüllhinweise”) on the right-hand side of this page.
Then send us the originals of the remaining documents for final processing.

What happens once the documents have been sent to the Bundesbank?

We will inform you when we receive your reported data and send you your BMS customer number.
In addition, we will provide you with your mandate reference number and our creditor identifier for the SEPA business-to-business (B2B) direct debit mandate(s).

If you have selected your Bundesbank account for the processing of retail payments, we will make the necessary arrangements for you.
If you have selected an account held with another bank, immediately instruct your account-carrying bank to pay the direct debits received on the basis of the SEPA B2B direct debit mandate with the mandate reference number and creditor identifier you were given.

Which documents do I need to send to the Bundesbank as originals?
