It is standard for account names that umlauts are handled as their two letter equivalent. Then again, this may in fact cause rejection, as it's (almost) unheard of in Germany to drop the umlaut dots. If at all, some interface may change it to the base letter, U in your case. Is there any other words that are equivalent with ü (read: u with umlaut), that in some way the correspondent bank will accept it and it's world-wide accepted?įor names, especially in international transfer only the basic 26 latin characters are valid. Hopefully for those who face same problem as me can get some answers from this thread. Thanks to everyone who has given opinion or answers. I can conclude if there’s special characters (like German ö ä or ü or Danish å ø etc), banks probably tolerate it to the closest word (globally recognized ones), like ö with o, ü with u and so on. I followed my home country bank’s recommendation and changed the ü in the beneficiary name to just simple plain u (not ue). (according to my experience, check below comments for the story)Į.g: Grundst ücksverwaltung and Grundst ucksverwaltung have different meaning.
When the receiver bank checks the IBAN and its account holder name is different with the one I specified in the transfer, they won't accept the transfer and my money will get stuck and it's taking forever to (maybe) get the money back to my home country bank account. The account holder name is as important as the IBAN. Is there any other words that are equivalent with ü ( read: u with umlaut), that in some way the correspondent bank will accept it and it's world-wide accepted?īecause if I changed it to just u/ue, I'm afraid the bank will regard it different than it's supposed to and my transfer will be stuck. But, the account holder name has special characters like ö, ä, ü, and etc.
I sent a payment through international bank transfer to Germany.
