  2. The powerful vision of SEPA From 27(32) payment islands … … to this Cashless payments in euro in the EU (EEA) should become as easy, efficient and reliable as domestic payments “One account; one card; one terminal”

  3. A CUSTOMER Same payment service providing European wide reach of counterparties and use of cards as in a domestic service. … by using single set of payment instruments from a single bank account. …provided that the currency is euro The service level should not be lowered There are also other harmonization expectations … all with minimum investment A BANK Mandatory to offer SEPA services, if a bank offers any credit transfer or direct debit service in euro. Ensuring compliance seems to eat most of the capacity of banks for the few years to come There are a lot of business opportunities also Reaping the benefits would require timely migration throughout SEPA countries The ballgame is different between in and out countries … and now the PSD obligates also Payment institutions SEPA expectations

  4. Recent perspectives on SEPA • Respect of end-user requirements and priorities • Final open issues – SDD mandate migration • Non-transparent protectionism in some countries and banking groups • Transition of public administrations and large corporate into using SEPA instruments • End date! ? ? ? 100% ? 2008 2010 2014 2012

How to best exploit this fact of life?

  6. Current infrastructure is able to support large and small payments in a reliable way, but mostly in a domestic environment • Small and large payments, non-urgent - yes • How about cross-border? • Urgent? Real time? • E & M channel support?

  7. What can be built on the SEPA foundation? Stakeholder Forum support and acceptance! All future payment innovation to be built on SEPA infrastructure. Bonus: Applicable in the whole SEPA. Going for the ‘full monty’ in Finland! • SCT migration end-date 31.12.2010. • New products (SCT, later SDD, e-Invoicing & SCT) replacing totally all legacy euro products • New format (ISO20022 XML) for customer files • New connectivity method (Webservice) SEPA is an inspiration and opportunity- from single euro payment area … • to single european cash management area • to more harmonized trade area (e-procurement, e-payments, e-invoicing, VAT regulation and admin…) • to multi-country multi-currency clearing • to harmonized customer-to-bank connectivity (channels, protocols, formats)

  8. The infrastructure design effort has mostly been completed for the traditional instruments SEPA product offerings are still mostly on their way Cards area is still a special case Banks and other service providers have challenges to create open infrastructure layer to support e-&m channels Is SEPA infrastucture too rigid, too old-fashioned to bring benefits to consumers and corporates? Competivite products from payment service providers Collaborative infrastructure for e&m–channels Rules for basic instruments in a stable infrastructure Framework for clearing and settlement End-to-end standards ISO20022 Underlying need: move value €€€
