What is an EPC Payment QR Code?
An EPC Payment QR code encodes a SEPA Credit Transfer in the standard BCD format. When scanned by a compatible EU banking app, the transfer form is pre‑filled with your IBAN, BIC, amount, and references—reducing manual entry and errors.
How EPC Payment QR Codes work
QRUpp constructs a BCD payload that follows the European Payments Council specification for SEPA Credit Transfers. Supported mobile banking apps parse the data and present a ready‑to‑send payment screen.

EPC Payment QR Code: FAQs
Many EU banking apps that support SEPA Credit Transfers can scan EPC/BCD format QR codes. Support varies by country and bank, so always test with the main apps your customers use.
EPC Payment QR codes are based on the SEPA Credit Transfer standard and use EUR (Euro) as the currency.
EPC Payment QR codes themselves do not provide scan analytics. If you need tracking, you can add a companion Dynamic QR code (for example, linking to a confirmation page or signup form) alongside your payment code.
No. EPC Payment QR codes are designed for single SEPA Credit Transfers. For recurring payments, the payer must set up a standing order or recurring transfer with their bank.
