Common questions.
Which countries are included in the SEPA zone?
The SEPA zone includes all 27 EU member states, the three EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway), and four non-EEA countries (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom). This covers 36 nations for Euro-denominated transfers.
What is the difference between SEPA Credit Transfer and SEPA Direct Debit?
SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) is a push payment initiated by the payer, suitable for one-off payments. SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) is a pull payment initiated by the payee (merchant) with the payer's authorization, ideal for recurring payments like subscriptions.
How long do SEPA payments typically take to clear?
Standard SEPA Credit Transfers typically clear within one business day. SEPA Direct Debits also follow specific timelines, generally settling within a few business days depending on the scheme and bank processing times. SEPA Instant offers immediate settlement.
