SEPA Adherence • All banks offering national direct debits are reachable for SDD Core (Regulation 924/2009 ). Czech Banking Association
SCT Migration / 1 • 1st HY 2010: 37% of SCT transactions domestic (federal government started SCT mass payments in June 2009) • 1st HY 2010 : 5,5% of Austrian credit transfers are SCT Czech Banking Association

SCT - Situation in the Market • Corporates • still waiting for ‚full XML-package‘ (SCT + SDD + account statements) • slow migration without end-date (one end-date for SCT and SDD preferred) • Public Authorities • domestic mass payments in use since June 2009 • federal government: • 67% of outgoing payments will be migrated by July 2010 • 100% of outgoing payments planned for 2011 • regional entities following slowly (benefitting from experience) Czech Banking Association
SDD Migration • ~ 6 million SDD transaction Jan. – Jun. 2010; approx. 3% of direct debit transactions • Vast majority SDD Core • All banks process substantial numbers of SDD transactions – ready for mass production Czech Banking Association
SDD – Situation in the Market • Corporates • large creditors (insurances, utilities, telecom) are interested • some have started to use SDD for x-border transactions • one building society has completely migrated to SDD (~ 13 Mio. transactions p.a.) • Public Authorities • Austrian PA-entities do not use direct debit • Consumers • little awareness of SDD because migration work is driven by banks and creditors • no exchange of mandates • creditors use BIC/IBAN service • debtors are informed by creditors but have no active role. Czech Banking Association
SDD - Open Issue • Migration of domestic direct debit no refund scheme (“Lastschrift“) to SDD Czech Banking Association
Status SEPA Cards • Migration to EMV standard (chip) Czech Banking Association
e-Payments • Austrian e-payment scheme “eps online payment” will be SEPA compliant by the end of 2010 (BIC/IBAN + SCT) • Austria liaises with other European e-payment schemes (DE, NL) to reach interoperability • e-payment framework will provide ‘missing link’ between existing schemes. Czech Banking Association
Information - Communication • National Stakeholder Forum (2x/year; next meeting in May 2010) • media (press, TV etc.) work concentrated on PSD transposition rather than SEPA migration • APC provides information (presentations, discussions, training) to corporates and IT-providers regurlarly • Consumers in Austria • migration of cards (debit and credit): completed • access to BIC/IBAN: completed by end 2010 • migration to SCT: driven by PA’s and Corporates • migration to SDD: driven by Creditors Czech Banking Association
