DE

As of 15 November 2026, the following Procedural Rules will be valid for processing of SEPA payments in the SEPA-Clearer of the RPS.

The documentation is based on the following European Payments Council (EPC) Rulebooks:

  • SEPA Credit Transfer Scheme Rulebook, 2025 Version 1.1
  • SEPA Core Direct Debit Scheme Rulebook, 2025 Version 1.1
  • SEPA Business to Business Direct Debit Scheme Rulebook, 2025 Version 1.1

as well as the related implementation guidelines.

Following the decision by the EPC’s Payment Scheme Management Board (PSMB) on 9 September 2026 to postpone the removal of the unstructured address format for SEPA payments, the mentioned below ‘Technical Specifications SCT/SCL’ and ‘Technical Specifications SDD/SCL’ will not come into force until further notice. The versions dated 5 October 2025 will therefore remain in force beyond 15 November 2026.
