Ah ja, wie mag wohl der Prozess dahinter sein? Werden Daten hรคndisch รผber berittene Boten an das Bundeszentralamt fรผr Steuern getragen, die diese dann in eine Liste eintragen?
Dieser Service ist erst ca. eine Woche nach Meldung einer IBAN รผber das Portal oder der Erklรคrung gegenรผber Ihrer Bank nutzbar, da Meldungen nicht immer tรคglich an das BZSt รผbermittelt werden. Darรผber hinaus kann die Erfassung, รœbermittlung, Verifikation und Speicherung einer Meldung in den IT-Systemen der Banken und/oder der Finanzverwaltung einen gewissen Zeitraum in Anspruch nehmen.

Full disk satellite view of Earth centered on Africa and Europe, with partial views of South America and the Middle East. The satellite image showing Earth from geostationary orbit, captured by EUMETSAT's Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite using the GeoColor RGB composite technique. The image displays both day and night views of Earth, with the daytime portion showing true color representation of land and clouds, while the nighttime portion appears darker with visible city lights. White cloud formations are scattered across the image, particularly along the intertropical convergence zone. The image provides a full disk view of Earth, showing the planet's curvature against a black background.
