KWG24C – Account Retrieval

The account retrieval according to KWG §24c

Account retrieval is understood as government agencies accessing bank customers’ master account data.

Banks in Germany are obliged to keep a file in which their customers’ master account data is stored. In cases regulated by law, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has been permitted to access this database since April 2003 when fulfilling its tasks, in particular for criminal purposes, and to provide other authorities with information on the account master data of a bank account held in Germany. Since April 2005, the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt) has been handling inquiries for the tax authorities and other authorities.
