This month was very special for us! To begin with, we celebrated the third anniversary of the SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) scheme! Three years on, over 57% of European payment service providers (PSPs) (and 67.5% of PSPs in the euro area) including those with the most significant electronic payment volumes in their countries, have joined the SCT Inst scheme. Moreover, this month we welcomed the first SCT Inst scheme participants from Slovenia (which became the 23rd country on the SCT Inst map).
Secondly, we have just published the first version of the SEPA Request-to-Pay (SRTP) scheme rulebook! The SRTP scheme covers the set of operating rules and technical elements that allow a Payee to request the initiation of a payment from a Payer in a wide range of physical or online use cases.
And this is not all, find out more in our newest Rep(l)ay issue!
