Countdown to Compliance: October 2025

By October 9, 2025, all Payment Service Providers (PSPs) facilitating SEPA instant and non-instant credit transfers in the eurozone must verify recipients' account details before processing payments to enhance security and prevent fraud.

The European Payments Council (EPC) in their VoP scheme require that PSPs implement Requestor-Responder Routing and Verification Mechanisms (RVM) to support seamless payee validation across Europe.

Understanding VoP

A key requirement under the EU’s Instant Payments Regulation.

What is VoP?

Verification of Payee (VoP) is Europe’s version of Know Your Payee (KYP)—a fraud prevention measure that ensures payment details are validated before processing. It helps reduce misdirected payments, fraud, and chargebacks.

Part of EU’s Instant Payments Regulation

The European Instant Payments Regulation mandates that all PSPs must verify account details before processing SEPA credit transfers.

The Role of PSPs in VoP Compliance

A seamless verification experience for customers, without additional complexity.

Mandatory verification for EU-based transactions

All PSPs offering payment services in Euro must verify payee details before executing a transaction, across all channels, including corporate and bulk payments.

Frictionless payment experience

VoP compliance is more than a regulatory requirement—it ensures smooth, error-free transactions for customers and businesses.
