The EPC Scheme End-User Forum (SEUF) is composed of representatives of European associations of end-users of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) payment schemes, such as consumers, e-merchants and corporate treasurers.
The SEUF held its 13th meeting on 10 September 2021. The approved agenda and minutes are available on this page.
During this meeting, the SEUF was informed about the remaining timeline of the 2022 EPC SEPA payment scheme rulebook change management cycle, and discussed in detail the various EPC payment scheme rulebook change requests which the EPC had received by the end of June 2021. These change requests would then be subject to a public consultation from 13 September to 11 December 2021.
The SEUF further discussed the SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) scheme implementation status at that point in time. The main topics were the SCT Inst scheme adherence status and projections, the current obstacles to the broader use of SCT Inst and future intentions from payment end-user groups to use SCT Inst.
The SEUF was also informed about the internal EPC developments on the EPC’s SEPA Request-To-Pay (SRTP) scheme rulebook and on one-leg out euro (instant) credit transfer transactions entering or leaving SEPA.
The SEUF members were also briefed about the EPC’s intentions to transform the EPC Scheme Technical Forum (ESTF) and the SEUF into EPC Multi-Stakeholder Groups (MSGs) with as scope all existing EPC SEPA payment and payment-related schemes. The aim of the EPC was to establish the two new EPC MSGs as from 1 January 2022.
