SEPA for corporate

SEPA is an opportunity for your business. The common payment area could impact your cash management arrangements, giving you greater visibility over your European cash positions. It might also allow you to centralise your payments.

What is SEPA?

SEPA is the single, integrated European market, which allows the free flow of goods and services across the region. SEPA also increases opportunities for innovation and competition in payments.
