How Schemes can benfit from participation in EAPS

Leverage existing infrastructure

EAPS is built on existing infrastructures, providing a solution with minimal further investment. The only requirement for participating schemes is to be SEPA compliant and to bi-laterally agree commercial terms with the other participants.

Fast and easy to implement

Experience shows that participation can be achieved quickly and with minimal use of resources. EAPS provides extensive assistance to support implementation and live running.

Free choice of Processors

EAPS does not offer processing services.  All schemes and independent Issuers and Acquirers are free to choose a processor that meets their needs.

European Governance

EAPS is governed by the participating schemes, ensuring that it always operates only in its member’s interests.

Enables SEPA compliance

EAPS is totally committed to SEPA and enables compliance with the SEPA Cards Framework.
