SEPA instruments
The goal of the new SEPA instruments is to optimise your collections and payments throughout the SEPA area. As from the second half of 2010, SEPA Direct Debit will make your collections easier by offering a single direct debit instrument, instead of the current domestic direct debit systems. SEPA transfers, available since January 2008, increase the amount of information given to your beneficiary (reason for payment, reference number, etc).
