We are glad to announce that already 2258 payment service providers (PSPs) have as of April 2020 joined the SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) scheme, i.e. over 56% of European PSPs! Also, we have published the version 1.5 of the clarification paper on the 2019 SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) and SCT Inst rulebooks that provides guidance and, where feasible, recommendations to scheme participants on how to handle situations that are not described in the rulebooks.
We trust you will enjoy reading the latest publications from the EPC!

Highlight COVID-19

In spite of these exceptional circumstances, we remain fully operational by phone (+32 2 733 35 33) and by e-mail ([email protected]) to help and address any question from or handle any matter raised by the EPC SEPA payment scheme participants, scheme applicants and payment end-users about the EPC SEPA payment scheme schemes, e.g. scheme adherence, complaint handling, Major Incident Reporting and any other SEPA payment-related matter. We hope that yourself, your family and your colleagues are safe and doing well.
