The Instant Payments Regulation (IPR) transforms the EU payment ecosystem and imposes many must-dos on PSPs: 📌Mandated instant euro payments. All PSPs must facilitate payments within seconds, 24/7, 365 days a year.  📌Fee limits. Charges for instant payments cannot exceed those for standard credit transfers. 📌IBAN and name verification. PSPs must ensure that the recipient's IBAN and name match to prevent errors or fraud. 📌Screening against EU sanctions. Payment providers must check their clients against EU sanctions lists at least once a day. 📌Direct access to payment systems. Payment and e-money institutions (PIEMIs) can directly access payment systems, which eliminates the need for bank sponsorship. The IPR will greatly assist the EU in adopting instant payments. I am confident that in the coming years we will see the European Union quickly catching up with India, Brazil, and China, which are currently leaders in instant payments. Despite that, significant efforts will be required from payment providers to adapt to new IPR requirements. And timelines are quite strict. PSPs should be ready to receive instant credit transfers by Jan, 9, 2025, and send instant credit transfers in euro by Oct, 9, 2025🔥 With a reliable fintech provider, however, the adaptation period will proceed smoothly.

The European Commission welcomes the political agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council on the Commission’s proposal to make instant payments in euros available to all citizens and businesses holding a bank account in the EU. The new rules, which modernize the 2012 SEPA Regulation, aim to ensure that instant euro payments are affordable, secure, and processed seamlessly across the EU. PSPs offering euro credit transfers will be required to provide instant payments to all their customers at a cost not exceeding that of traditional transfers. PSPs will also need to verify that payments go to the intended beneficiaries and raise alerts in case of possible errors or fraud before processing the transaction. The new rules will maintain the effectiveness of sanctions screening through a standardized procedure. Rather than screening transactions individually, instant payment providers must check their clients against EU sanctions lists at least daily. However, as with any ambitious policy shift, there are challenges on the horizon that must be carefully navigated. The key challenges that banks and financial institutions may face in adopting and implementing this initiative: ✅ Technological Infrastructure ✅ Compliance and Security ✅ Cost Management ✅ Integration and Interoperability ✅ Customer Education ✅ Risk Management ✅ Regulatory Compliance ✅ Customer Demand ✅ Competition ✅ Operational Efficiency #instantpayments #payments #euro #banking #fintech #amlcompliance
