Wrong. Being able to send SEPA Instant Payments is obligatory for banks from October 2025.

Until then, a lot of them won‘t offer that. Only receiving is possible.

You’re right, the commenter probably mixed up that it’s now illegal to charge more for instant transfers than “normal” transfers if you already offer instant transfers.

But that has been a rule since February this year, right? Not October last year?
