Specifications

For version 2.1, the Bank Master is available in text (ISO 8859-1) and Excel format. Upper- and lower-case letters, letters with umlauts, and special characters are possible. Each entry in the text file consists of a record with fixed field lengths that ends with a line break (CR/LF). The quality of the content of the Excel file corresponds to that of the text file. The Excel file includes a separate title line. The difference between versions 2.0 and 2.1 relates to the codes 5–8 in the "SIC" data element.
