European Payments Council
The European Payments Council (EPC) is the decision making and coordination body of the European banking industry in relation to payments. The EPC defines
- common positions for core payment services within the European market place
- provides strategic guidance for standardisation
- formulates best practices and
- supports and monitors implementation of decisions taken.
Its core remit is that of supporting and promoting the creation of a harmonised, open and interoperable European payments market through self-regulation.
EPC and SEPA
The EPC was established in June 2002 to support and promote the creation of a Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).
