Faster Payments and the Single European Payments Area (SEPA)

Find out how we’re improving payment efficiency – in the UK & Europe

Major changes are taking place in the UK and Europe to improve the way businesses make payments.

• From January 2008, you’ll be able to make cross-border payments in Euro easily, securely and efficiently under one payment scheme being introduced as part of the Single European Payments Area (SEPA).
• From May 2008 same day processing will be available for domestic payments via Faster Payments.

These are exciting initiatives which will transform the way you make payments and facilitate more efficient payment processing.  Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets are at the forefront of these changes and we are developing our range of payment products to enable your business to take advantage of both SEPA and Faster Payments.
