Shortcut to the SEPA Cards Framework
The aim of creating a SEPA for Cards is to facilitate a consistent customer experience when making or accepting payments with cards. The SEPA Cards Framework (SCF) developed by the EPC outlines high level principles and rules that when implemented by banks and card schemes will deliver this consistent experience. The "Shortcut to the SEPA Cards Framework" summarises the high level principles and rules defined in the SCF.
