Critical IPR Compliance Deadlines for Banks Unveiled: Are You in Scope?

The recently unveiled IPR Compliance Deadlines mandates that all payment service providers (PSPs), E-money Institutions (EMIs) and Payment Institutions (PIs) must provide customers with the facility of instant SEPA credit transfers in euro. This includes both sending and receiving such payments, ensuring they occur in real-time—within 10 seconds of initiation. The facility must be available all day, every day, throughout the year. There is some ambiguity on who is in scope for Instant Payment Regulation and what are the applicable key compliance deadlines. Who is in Scope for IPR? What Channels are in Scope for IPR? The regulation covers all major payment channels, ensuring instant payments are accessible regardless of the medium used: Implementation Timelines The IPR stipulates phased implementation deadlines to accommodate varying readiness levels among PSPs: Exception – (until 9 June 2028): PSPs are not required to send instant euro payments from accounts denominated in their local currency if they don’t provide SEPA credit transfers for accounts today. The deadlines are set as per services provided and denomination of accounts provided by PSPs, EMIs & PIs across Eurozone and non-Eurozone member states. The timelines are proportional and leave adequate time for entities to upgrade systems and processes. The Instant Payment Regulation (IPR) is a big step towards streamlining payment systems across the EU, ensuring faster, safer, and more transparent payments processing. For banks and PSPs, this is more than just meeting a regulatory requirement—it’s an opportunity to enhance customer trust and operational efficiency while supporting the broader goal of financial inclusion.
