Migration end date for SEPA compliance

Explore our new SEPA Videos >
Webinar: SEPA: Practical Steps >

With the European Parliament setting 1 February 2014 as the migration end date for SEPA compliance, adoption is no longer dependent on a valid business case but is now a legislative requirement.

Time is scarce for organizations with Euro ACH and direct debit flows to finalize their SEPA strategy, form an execution plan and migrate to SEPA in advance of the regulatory deadline.

We welcome you to explore and understand key aspects of SEPA, practical implications and read client testimonials. We have also included information on
how Citi can help you to better position your organization and get ready for SEPA.

    • "Clients will need to focus on key practical priorities such as IBAN/BIC readiness and the establishment of mandate migration processes or new mandate issuance under the SEPA direct debit scheme. In relation to ISO 20022 XML, which is the new standard that SEPA transactions are based on, corporates can seek their banking partner support to ensure SEPA readiness or alternatively look to implement XML in their own systems."
