European Payment Council

The European Payments Council (EPC) is an organization that brings together banks and payment service providers across Europe to coordinate, develop, and implement common standards and solutions for electronic payments. Its goal is to facilitate seamless, secure, and efficient cross-border transactions within the Eurozone and beyond, supporting innovations like SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area). By setting industry guidelines and ensuring interoperability, the EPC helps make electronic payments more reliable, cost-effective, and widely accepted across Europe, benefiting both businesses and consumers.
