What SEPA transfer is
SEPA transfer is the ordinary euro bank transfer, formally the SEPA Credit Transfer scheme, which is run by the European Payments Council and reaches the 41 countries and territories of the Single Euro Payments Area. You send it from your normal bank account using the recipient's IBAN, and it is the standard way to move euro into an exchange account. It carries euro only, so a payment in any other currency falls outside the scheme and is priced differently by your bank.
- Speed
- One business day at most for an electronically submitted order, so a Friday evening transfer typically lands on Monday.
- Cost of the rail
- Set by your own bank rather than by the scheme, and inside the EU and EEA a euro transfer to another SEPA country must cost the same as a domestic one.
- Limits
- The scheme itself sets no amount cap, but it moves euro only and your own bank applies the daily transfer ceiling and the cut off time that apply to you.
