SEPA migration end date regulation

By 1 February 2014, the Eurozone countries will have to switch from legacy standards to harmonized SEPA credit transfer and SEPA direct debit schemes for payments in euro. With only 250 days until the end date, urgent decisions have to be taken on the migration design (technical and business) and implementation plan. Whilst the migration deadline represents the tip of the iceberg, there are many aspects that are to be carefully considered such as compliance with the ISO 20022 standards, the use of IBAN, derogations to the migration calendar in member states, and so on.
