What is SozialBank's BIC (SWIFT code)?
BFSWDE33BER. The last three characters, BER, name a specific office of the bank. A euro transfer within SEPA needs only the IBAN.
What is SozialBank's bank code (BLZ)?
SozialBank holds 3 of them; 10020500 is one. The code sits in positions 5 to 12 of an IBAN from Germany, so the IBAN itself shows which one an account uses. The Bundesbank Bankleitzahlen lists every one.
How long are SozialBank IBANs?
22 characters, like every IBAN from Germany: the country code DE, two check digits, the BLZ (8 digits) and the account number (10 digits).
Can I send an instant transfer to SozialBank?
Yes. The European Payments Council lists SozialBank in SEPA Instant Credit Transfer since 5 June 2023, so an instant euro transfer from a participating bank reaches its accounts in seconds.
Does SozialBank confirm the payee's name?
Yes. It answers Verification of Payee requests (since 5 October 2025), so the payer's bank can compare the name entered with the account holder's name before a euro transfer is sent.
