General information
This page allows the entering of German foreign payments (DTAZV). In addition, payments entered here can be transferred to the bank. Certain information must be supplied during payment entry via the mandatory fields in order for an DTAZV transfer to be possible.
The DTAZV format is being phased out and will be replaced by the year 2025 by the ISO 20022 payment format.
Payment entry

Input mask with amount details (1), client information (2), beneficiary details (3),
and additional information on payment (4)
No special characters are allowed for DTAZV payments.
Amount details
Here, the amount and the currency are specified. With the option EURO-Gegenwertszahlung
a euro amount can be specified, which is then instructed in the foreign currency and has the specified equivalent value in euros. This reduces exchange rate uncertainties. Information on exchange rates can be found in konfipay under foreign exchange market rates.
The execution date of the AZV payment must be same-day or future, but no more than 15 days in the future.
Client
The desired ordering party account must then be selected from the drop-down list. If it is not listed there, the account does not meet the conditions for DTAZV transfers. For the selected account, konfipay completes the account number and bank code independently.
The name, address, city/country, account number and bank code are mandatory fields.
Beneficiary
Information on the beneficiary and their credit institution are entered here. Mandatory fields at this point are the name and country code of the beneficiary and the name and country code of the credit institution.
When a cheque draw is specified as the payment type, the name and country code of the credit institution can no longer be specified, and the instruction keys are also omitted.
AZV instruction key
At this point, an optional AZV instruction key which specifies more precisely how the executing bank is to proceed with the payment or specifies the reason for the payment. Up to four instruction keys can be defined, some of which cannot be combined with each other. Furthermore, additional information to the instruction key can be noted as free text.
