2. What is SWIFT?

SWIFT - Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.

Transaction orders are transmitted between members of this network.

Each member is identified with a unique SWIFT/ BIC code.

To this day, SWIFT is the biggest and most efficient tool for international money transfer, with over 11.000 member institutions in over 200 countries, sending over 5 billions financial messages globally every year.

3. What does SWIFT code represent?

SWIFT works by assigning each member institution a unique ID code that identifies the bank name, country, city, and branch.

For example DNBC Financial Group BIC code is: DSFE LT 21 XXX

Here's an example BIC code: DEUTDEFFXXX. Let's break it down:

Bank code: DEUT - This represents the bank. In this case, it's Deutsche Bank. Country code: DE - This is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code representing the country where the bank is located. In this example, it is Germany.

Location code: FF - This code defines the location (city) of the bank's head office. Here, it is Frankfurt. Branch code (optional): XXX - This part is optional and used to identify a specific branch of the bank. In this example, the 'XXX' indicates that the code refers to the bank's head office.

So, the example BIC code DEUTDEFFXXX represents Deutsche Bank's head office in Frankfurt, Germany.

4. How old must I be to open a personal account?

You can become a DNBC Financial Group's client and gain full benefits from our personal accounts at the age of 16. If you are younger than 16, you would need a legal representative to open the account in their name and take responsibility for you when using our services. 

To open account with us, you would need to finish the identification procedure for the registering process, you would need to provide us with an international personal documentation, ie. a passport or ID card. 

After you finish the registering process with us, you will receive an online payment (DNBCnet) account and you can start using our services from that moment onward. For ease of use in everyday activity, you can order a debit/prepaid card from DNBC which would be sent to you via postal services as quickly as 2 working days.

However after that process, there would be no more paperwork to fill and you can enjoy many benefits like managing your account anywhere, a multi-currency account if you travel a lot and no limits in transferring transactions around the globe (We may need you to prove your identification if you want to transfer a large sum of money). You would essentially receive an international account when you open an account with us.

Yes, we provide many current account services including transfer funds to other accounts within or outside the DNBC system. This process will take up different amounts of time depending on the urgency of the transfer, which can reach as quickly as arriving at the same day.

Transfers from a DNBC Financial Group account to other banks are performed just like at a traditional bank with one distinction, you will go through the whole process online, at your own pace and there is no angry line behind you. You can find this function on our online payment site (DNBCnet) or our mobile money transfer apps

You would need  the recipient data including the account number and purpose of payment/reference. In the case of transferring money from DNBC Financial Group to other payment systems, you will have to indicate the client number in the system or other data depending on the payment system. 

However, there are advantages when it comes to using the DNBC network of transfer, we would not limit the amount you transfer or take into account any geographical barrier when transferring and you will benefit from the highest level of protection when transferring online. Users also have 24/7 access to DNBC Financial Group’s e-payments system to perform and keep track of all transactions.

9. What are all the fees and charges associated with personal current account / checking account?

There is no extra fee associated with your personal current account/ checking account during the time of usage but you would need to have a minimum amount of €240 kept in your account for an ongoing basis for payment of maintenance fees in 1 year. This amount will cover all your services, including a technical hotline if you even encounter any problems. You can use the debit/prepaid card provided at any shop or any foreign shop you like because there would be no geographical limit for our services.

If you transfer international money to another account within our DNBC Financial Group network, there would be no extra fee occurred but if you want to wire transfer to a bank account outside the network, we will charge you according to the speed of your transfer. You can check the full fees in the link below.

However, we will never charge you for checking your account online, so please check your account frequently and let us know any suspicious fees occurred because we will never charge you any hidden fees you wouldn’t know of.

11. Are my funds secured in my multi currency current account?

The short answer is very secure, DNBC Financial Group ("DNBC") is protected by many layers of encryption and a 24/7 fraud monitoring system, every time you sign in on our DNBCnet, you would need a two-factor authentication code along with your password to ensure only the owner has access to the account.

However, if by secure you mean if DNBC would prevent your funds from being used for other purposes then the answer is also a big yes. DNBC is complied with the Law on Payment in both the EU and the US region, which specifically stated:

  • The clients' funds are held only on special bank accounts exclusively for one purpose only, to keep funds of the clients;
  • Clients' funds are NOT to be used for the needs of the company, loans or investments;
  • Clients' funds cannot be subjected to recovery of debts of the payment institution.

Furthermore, we are a payment institution, licensed by the central bank of Lithuania, which does not allow us to loan money to customers so your funds will stay with us safely waiting for you to use them.
