The SEPA zone consists of the 41 countries: EU member states together with the members of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland). Monaco Andorra, San Marino, and the Vatican City State are also part of SEPA.

Countries that allow SEPA payment schemes:

  • Andorra

  • Austria

  • Belgium

  • Cyprus

  • Estonia

  • Finland (including Aland Islands)

  • France (including French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin (French part), Réunion and Saint Pierre and Miquelon)

  • Germany

  • Greece

Non-Eurozone countries

In non-eurozone countries, the SEPA schemes are only used for euro-denominated payments. Reachability is only required for euro-denominated bank accounts. For payments made in the local currency, national schemes should continue to be used.

  • Bulgaria

  • United Kingdom (including Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey, and Isle of Man)

If you try to enter an IBAN that is not supported by SEPA payment, the following error will appear: "The IBAN is out of the SEPA zone."
