Single European Payments Area
The Single European Payments Area (SEPA) is an initiative that allows people and businesses in the European Union (EU) and some other European countries to make and receive payments in euros easily and efficiently. SEPA standardizes payment processes, enabling fast and secure transactions across borders, as if they were domestic payments. This means you can transfer money or pay bills to anyone in participating countries without worrying about different banking systems or extra fees. Overall, SEPA simplifies financial transactions, promotes economic integration, and enhances convenience for consumers and businesses alike.
