EPC Publication: Shortcut to the SEPA Cards Framework 28.01.10

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 SCF is designed to enhance levels of interoperability within SEPA by defining common standards, improving transparency and removing other barriers to the development of a SEPA for Cards. The SCF continues to evolve to reflect changing regulatory requirements.

This document introduces on two pages the essential  features of the SEPA Cards Framework, first launched in 2005 and recently refreshed. 

The publications released in the EPC 'Shortcut Series' highlight key SEPA concepts and EPC deliverables in non-technical terms. To view the entire series, log on to SEPA Customers
