The regulations will enter into force after a transitional period

Payment service providers (e.g. banks) that offer standard euro transfer services will be obliged offer a service of making and receiving payments instant loans in euro. They will not be able to charge for this service higher fee than with standard euro transfers.

The new regulations will enter into force after a transitional period of less than... the euro area, and longer in countries outside the zone that need more time to adapt.

The regulation provides for appropriate safeguards

The regulation grants access to payment systems to payment institutions and electronic money institutions - it does so purpose of changes in the Settlement Finality Directive. As a result, after the transitional period, these entities will have to offer a service consisting in executing and receiving immediate transfer orders. The regulation provides for appropriate safeguards to ensure that access granted to these institutions does not result in additional threats to the system.

The new regulations require instant payment providers to check whether the IBAN number matches the recipient's name in order to notify the payer before the transaction of any errors or fraud. This requirement will also apply to regular transfers.
