SEPA transfers

SEPA is the Single Euro Payment Area formed by 34 countries (all Member States of the European Union, together with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, Monaco and San Marino), in which payments in euros are made and received under the same conditions and rights. The main objective is that payments in euros, in the European Union, are made under the same conditions as if they were domestic banking transactions.

WHAT KIND OF PAYMENTS DO THESE REFER TO?

To any transfer and direct debit of any citizen, company or other economic agents in the SEPA Zone.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR CUSTOMERS?

Customers can make payments in any country in the SEPA Zone through an account, a card or payment instruments with the same characteristics. the maximum payment term for transfers is 1 business day following the date of issue by the ordering entity.

HOW IS A SEPA ACCOUNT IDENTIFIED?

The account ID is no longer the CAN (Customer Account Number); in SEPA it is the IBAN (International Bank Account Number), made up of the CAN, which is preceded by the country code and a control digit. You can calculate your IBAN here.
