OpenWay, a global provider of software for digital payments, invites you to review the final draft of “Mobile Initiated SEPA Credit Transfer Interoperability Implementation Guidelines”. This document is being developed by a cross-industry group created under the European Payments Council (EPC). OpenWay and other leading payments market experts have contributed to the final draft.

OpenWay is encouraging its clients to share their views on the Interoperability Implementation Guidelines for Mobile Initiated SEPA Credit Transfers. The document covers best practices and use cases related to the initiation of instant credit transfers in different mobile payment contexts, such as person-to-person, consumer-to-business (retail payments including both in-store and m-commerce payments) and business-to-business payments.

EPC has published the document for a three-month public consultation. Payments market participants are welcome to comment by 23 August 2019. To share your views, please contact the OpenWay team or send your feedback to mp.consultation@epc-cep.eu
