SCT Inst Definition.

SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (2017): a euro transfer credited in under 10 seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The scheme’s €100,000 cap was lifted as part of compliance with the Instant Payments Regulation (IPR), and each PSP now sets its own limits. It made up about 20% of euro area credit transfers in early 2025, and adoption has accelerated sharply since the IPR required it to cost no more than a standard transfer.
