People will be able to make payments in euro all over Europe as easily as if they were making a payment in their home town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;What is SEPA’s objective?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To provide standardized transfers, debits and card transactions throughout Europe and to ensure fast and efficient cashless money flows within Europe, making international payments as easy and convenient as domestic ones.&lt;br /&gt;The goal is to &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;form a single market for payment transactions &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; within the European Economic Area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Advantages for making transfers with SEPA&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Simple:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; International Payment Transfer (withing SEPA Countries) will be just simple as domestic payments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;More Efficiency:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; Europe will become more efficient thanks to the harmonisation of the payments involved in almost every economic transaction that takes place in society&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Faster:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; The beneficiary is credited within three bank working days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Free of Charge:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; As of 1 May 2008 you can make euro transfers via e-fi nance or as electronic payments orders (EPO) free of charge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Way to Achieve the Goal &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ways to do this is to create a set of standards for electronic payments using ISO20022 XML format together with a set of rules and guidelines as to how Euro payments must be handled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a common standard it will be easier to process payments with more efficiency in the banking system and with lower prices. It will also make it possible for companies that have business activities in many countries to only interact with one bank, since the cross-border payment is assumed to be the same as the domestic payment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4126042076533800834-5858850939570844015?l=dhaval-tinyerpindia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dhaval-tinyerpindia.blogspot.com/feeds/5858850939570844015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4126042076533800834&amp;postID=5858850939570844015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4126042076533800834/posts/default/5858850939570844015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4126042076533800834/posts/default/5858850939570844015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dhaval-tinyerpindia.blogspot.com/2008/05/what-is-sepa.html' title='What is SEPA?'/><author><name>Dhaval Patel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dakgpvDbiuI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAkU/QmtxMpl3bYc/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
