We purchased services from a German company, but we sent the payments to a Swiss bank. How should we report this transaction on the BE-185?

Since your transaction was with a German entity, you should report this as a transaction with Germany. Where the money actually goes is irrelevant, even if you were to send your payments to a bank in the United States as a matter of convenience.
