March 2024
This month was busy for us: we have launched two public consultations, issued a yearly update of the “Guidelines on cryptographic algorithms usage and key management” and initiated a public ‘call for interest’ to identify Application Programming Interface (API) standardisation initiatives that already developed or intend to develop API specifications compliant with the SEPA Payment Account Access (SPAA) scheme rulebook. And that's not all! We trust you will enjoy reading the latest publications from the EPC.

How do you think the open banking market will benefit from the SPAA Scheme? Answer to this and other questions you will find in our latest interview with Joe Morley, EU CEO and General Manager at TrueLayer, the first participant in the SPAA scheme!
Call for Interest: development of SEPA Payment Account Access compliant API specifications
European API Standardisation Initiatives that have already developed or plan to develop API specifications compliant with the SPAA scheme rulebook are encouraged to submit their response by April 26, 2024.
Yearly update of the “Guidelines on cryptographic algorithms usage and key management”
We have published our yearly update of the guidelines on cryptographic algorithms usage and key management. Feel free to explore further if you are interested.
Public consultation on change requests for the EPC payment scheme rulebooks
As part of the regular change management process of the EPC payment schemes, we initiated a public consultation on change requests for all five EPC payment scheme rulebooks. This consultation runs until 9 June.
