EPC QR Code

This Symbology is also known as SEPA Credit Transfer QR Code, SCT QR Code

This Barcode Symbology is supported by the following Neodynamic products:

Overview

It's a QR Code to enable payment initiation whereby the 2D QR Code contains the required data for the originator to initiate a SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT).

The process starts with the payee printing the 2D QR Code, for example, on the invoice to be sent. Upon receipt of the invoice, the payer scans the 2D code with a Smartphone, PC or scanner (either at home or at bank branch office) and by doing so the payer is directed to his online banking application where the payment details are pre-filled automatically. The payer then simply validates the transaction in order to complete the payment process.
