This document lists the evaluation criteria to be used by the

European Payments Council

for determining whether a community of banks or financial institutions from a non-

European Economic Area

country or territory which is not yet within the geographical scope of the

Single Euro Payments Area

Schemes (as set out in EPC409-09) could be considered eligible to participate in the

Single Euro Payments Area

Board on 1 March 2018.
