Target group

This targeted consultation is aimed to collect information of technical nature from PSPs and providers of technical services supporting the provision of instant payments, in addition to information they will provide in the context of the open public consultation that will be addressed to all stakeholders.

Objective of the consultation

This targeted consultation will inform the Commission on remaining obstacles as well as possible enabling actions that it could take to ensure a wide availability and use of instant payments in the EU. It will also enable the Commission to decide on whether EU coordinated action and/or policy measures are warranted in order to ensure that a critical mass of EU payment service providers (PSPs) offer instant credit transfers. This targeted consultation also seeks to identify factors that would be relevant for fostering customer demand towards instant credit transfer services.
