How to use VBMHDE5F for a transfer
Give the sender two things: the BIC VBMHDE5F (or VBMHDE5FXXX if the form asks for 11 characters) and your account number at Volksbank Mittelhessen EG. In Germany the account number is the IBAN, 22 characters starting with DE. Check both on your bank statement before sending a large amount: a wrong code delays the transfer or sends it back with fees.

It has 8 or 11 characters: 4 letters for the institution, 2 for the country, 2 for the location, and an optional 3 for the branch. XXX, or no branch code at all, means the head office.
