Are you ready for  Much More Easier European Business?

February 1st, 2014 is a day of great significance for banks and other organizations in the euro zone– it’s the deadline for single euro payments area (SEPA)-compliance, and it’s approaching fast. SEPA aims to create a single domestic market for euro payments through standardization and the development of common financial instruments and procedures. This will create a simplified, harmonized bank transfer system for the 32 SEPA countries, helping to reduce costs for all and improve the efficiency and speed of payments.
Hopefully, your organization is already well underway with compliance preparations – such as replacing current account numbers with the common format of International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN), identifying areas and processes that will be affected by SEPA, and implementing message format changes for payment instructions and reconciliations.
Timeframe’s Electronic Payment Solution OpenEFT, anticipated these market changes and worked with Global and European clients, to make the compliance transition easier for all the stakeholders.
We would be happy to assist you and customize something based on your needs , for more info please email us at info@time-frame.com
