The SEPA Instant Payments Regulation is here—and it’s a game-changer. Designed to modernize the European payments landscape, this new regulation mandates instant credit transfers within the EU and EEA, requiring banks and financial institutions to process transactions in under 10 seconds.
While the regulation promises increased efficiency, security, and customer satisfaction, it also introduces a complex set of compliance requirements, operational hurdles, and technical overhauls that banks can’t afford to ignore.
Our latest ebook explores the full impact of IPR on the financial services sector—and why proactive adaptation is essential for staying competitive.
