By default, every entry from the company to SWIFT is published with the SCO service code. Any request not to be published as a member of SCORE FIN should be able to communicate to joining.generic@swift.com companies and LBBW via SWIFT for companies via one of these services. To do this, it is necessary to sign a MACUG or SCORE master contract between the corporate clients and LBBW. Time is money. In the case of actual business payment transactions, this means above all one thing: minimizing the requirements for time and organization. SWIFT`s international telecommunications network has been contributing to this for many years. It allows companies to consolidate their networks with multinational banks and use standardized and proven formats for messaging. LBBW uses SWIFT`s secure and reliable network to send and receive payment messages to its customers and other banks. SWIFT allows businesses and banks to exchange transaction messages in seconds. Here`s an example of how it works: one bank informs another that there is an unpaid transfer order for one of its customers and that the counter-value must be debited on a given date of the settlement account indicated and transferred to the recipient.

Other statements contain information on bank statements, documentary transactions or securities and foreign currency transactions. To enable corporate customers to gain insight into the will of their banking partners and enable companies to “take full advantage of the benefits of their SWIFT connection,” SWIFT has launched the Bank Availability Certification Program. SWIFT states that “certification helps banks prepare to participate in the SWIFT for Corporates programme and also provides business customers with a clear overview of their banking partners` capabilities under SWIFT.” Availability is assessed on the basis of a number of key criteria, some mandatory and some optional. To date, 38 of the Top50 SCORE banks are certified by the program. SWIFT for Corporates offers companies two communication opportunities with LBBW: SWIFT connectivity fees include an annual fee of 2,000 euros for SWIFT, bank fees and perhaps office service fees. For some companies, the total cost of SWIFT will be higher than the cost of directly connecting to their own banks` EB systems. A major problem for companies using SWIFTNet is that banks use standard SWIFT messages to communicate account status, transactions and payment messages data differently, for example.B.
