=S=> BGB 676b. 1 If the bank transfer is not executed until after the end of the transaction period , then the transferring banking institution must pay interest to the transferor on the bank transfer amount for the duration of the delay unless the transferor or the beneficiary is responsible for the delay . The rate of interest is five percentage points per annum above the basic rate of interest . BGB 676b. 2 The transferring banking institution must without additional charges and expenses and at the option of the transferor either return to the transferor or transfer to the beneficiary any amounts retained by itself or by one of the intermediate banking institutions contrary to the transfer contract . BGB 676b. 3 The transferor may demand the return of the transfer amount up to an amount of 12,500 euros ( guarantee amount ) plus fees and expenses already paid for the transfer if the transfer has been executed neither by the end of the transaction period nor within an additional period of time of fourteen banking days from the demand of the transferor for return on . The transfer amount is in this case to bear interest from the commencement of the transaction period up to crediting of the guarantee amount to the account of the transferor at the rate of interest specified in subsection ( 1 ) sentence 2. Upon demand for return by the transferor and the end of the additional period of time the bank transfer contract is deemed to be terminated .

The tr ansferor need not , in the cases cited in sentences 3 and 4 , pay the agreed fees and expenses . Claims under this subsection do not exist if the bank transfer has not been executed because the transferor has given the transferring banking institution erroneous or incomplete instructions or if an intermediate bank expressly specified by the transferor has failed to execute the bank transfer . In the second case of sentence 6 , the banking institution expressly specified by the transferor is liable to the transferor in the place of the transferring banking institution .
