ANZEIGE
Und hier nochmal: Der Blogger dort behauptet, dass man das einfach im verlinkten SWIFT-Dokument nachlesen könnte:
Revolut on the other hand, just told me, that these are “old banks” that don’t know how to handle new stuff. I start to disbelieve them. And concerning, it’s REAL MONEY they’re playing around with, I find it nearly pretentious! To me it rather seems they’ve really messed it up and now want to cover this whole issue up quickly by giving the Jackass to somebody else. For me, one e-mail to the Bank Association was enough to be led to the necessary document by SWIFT, the ones responsible for IBAN and BIC standards.
Even I could check for ISO13616 compliance with it. And the only thing that Revolut would have needed and probably just hasn’t check would be country code exceptions for LT IBANs. One can see what this means with France, for example. Because France has other republic territories the BIC with FR IBANs can contain country codes like Mayotte (YT), New Caledonia (NC), Saint Barthelemy (BL), Saint Martin(MF) and so on. Look it up. Does Lithuania has such a rule in the country code for BICs? Nope. The only country code allowed according to this document is “LT”. The BIC by Revolut uses “GB”. So it seems, it’s just not compliant with ISO13616. Easily to be found on page 35 (France) and 52 (Lithuania)
Nun sind allerdings in diesem Dokument auch keine solche entsprechenden Ausnahmen für Deutschland oder die Schweiz für das Beispiel der Deutschen Bank dokumentiert. Kurz: Der verlinkte "Beleg" (um ihn nicht "Beweis" zu nennen) ist schlicht kein solcher.
Allerdings lese ich da beispielsweise den Hinweis auf IBANplus:
...und dafür scheinen, wenn ich das richtig verstehe, die täglichen Updates gemäss den SWIFT-FAQ eben nur optional zu sein, bzw. die Updatefrequenz steuerbar (Seite 9):The banks who refused the transfer told, that their security software (probably something like IBANplus) does not allow to do the transfer. It looks up the exception rules within the IBAN registry, can’t find any for LT IBANs and thus the banks correctly refuse to transfer the money to a non compliant IBA

Das verleiht dem Argument von Revolut, die "Problembanken" müssten ihre Software aktualisieren, zumindest in meinen Augen eine gewisse Plausibilität.
