SEPA: Send Euro with the Benefits Your Local Bank Can’t Offer

With SEPA payments you can easily and safely transfer money throughout the European Union.

FAS is a platform that specializes in different payment methods, all of which offer the best possible funds managing experience for clients all over the world. Our interrogation with SEPA payment allows individuals from the EU to manage their online funds internationally, by turning cross-border payments into domestic ones.

 

What Is SEPA Payment?

SEPA or the Single Euro Payments Area  is a payment integration initiative of the European Union. It was created for the simplification of fund transfers in EURO currency. SEPA allows you to send cross-border payments with minimal fees and a high level of security. SEPA payments work seamlessly and incredibly fast — usually, transfers are processed within one day.

 

How Does It Work?

Let’s say you wanted to send €1000 from your account in Italy to your friend’s account in Luxemburg. Since both countries are in the euro-zone, this transaction would work just like a domestic transfer — fast, seamless, and without enormous fees.

What Types of Payments Can Be Made through SEPA?

Three types of payments are available through SEPA:

  • Credit transfers: transfers that can be sent to another account in the SEPA zone.
  • SEPA Instant Credit Transfer: This type is more known as SEPA Instant Payment. This service is all about speed because as soon as sender confirms the transfer, the funds can be available in the recipient’s account in less than 10 seconds.
  • Direct debit payments: a pull-based transfer from a client’s account or a business account to an initiating company’s account. For authorization of such type of transfer, one must receive a mandate.

 

What Are the SEPA Transfer Limits?

The maximum amount of money that you can transfer at once depends on which type of SEPA transfer you choose.

  • SEPA Credit Transfers allow you to send €999,999,999.99 in one transaction.
  • SEPA Instant Credit Transfers have a maximum transfer limit up to €100,000.
  • SEPA Direct Debit Transfers limit depends on what was agreed upon between the recipient and the sender.

How Much SEPA Transfer Charges?

While a number of banks may charge you an extra fee for SEPA payments, FAS has a fixed fee for any type of SEPA transfers, regardless of the amount.


Are SEPA
Payments Only in Euro?

Yes, SEPA is for euro-denominated payments only. But it is still possible to make a euro payment if your account is foreign currency denominated. For example, if you’re sending money from the UK to another SEPA-zone country, pounds would have to be converted into euros. While this service is available, it requires additional costs because of currency conversion.
