How do SEPA instant payments impact EU payment systems and services like Wero?

SEPA instant payments, specifically SEPA Credit Transfers (SCT Inst), are revolutionizing EU payment systems by mandating banks to offer transfers that settle in seconds, 24/7, at no higher cost than standard transfers. This infrastructure shift creates a fast, reliable, and cost-effective foundation that enables services like Wero to compete on user experience and innovation rather than just fees. By democratizing the payment landscape, it sparks real competition and supports Europe's strategic autonomy goals. For US professionals, this means faster cross-border transactions and a more integrated European market, potentially reducing dependency on non-EU payment networks and fostering new financial technologies.
