Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The SEPA document, also known as a SEPA mandate or direct debit order, is an agreement between a debtor and a creditor. In other words, it’s the means by which a customer authorises the issuance of a payment, allowing their financial institution to collect the money directly from their bank account. Once this document has been signed, it’s mandatory for the creditor to keep it while it remains in force.
SEPA stands for Single Euro Payments Area. It’s an initiative that lets citizens, companies and other financial stakeholders make and receive payments in euros, under the same conditions, and with the same rights and obligations, regardless of their location within the countries comprising this zone
