iFAST Global Bank Launches SEPA Payments Enabling Businesses to Send Euro Transfers Instantly

iFAST Global Bank, announced the launch of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) payment capabilities for its Multi-Currency Business Current Account, further strengthening its cross-border payment infrastructure for SMEs and international business across one of the world’s most active trading zones.

According to the European Payments Council, SEPA makes it as easy and convenient for citizens and businesses to pay across Europe with one payment account and one card as it is in their home countries. The addition of SEPA further positions iFAST Global Bank as an international banking partner for manufacturers, distributors, and trading businesses that manage regular payments across Europe and beyond.

Inayat Kashif, CEO of iFAST Global Bank said: “Managing international supply chains means managing payment complexity. Our clients do not want to think about their banking infrastructure every time they pay a supplier. With SEPA now available alongside our existing multi-currency capabilities, we are giving businesses the tools to operate across borders – seamlessly, globally and with zero monthly fees.”

iFAST Multi-Currency Business Current Account supports 9 currencies within a single account – allowing businesses to hold, receive, and manage balances across major trading currencies without maintaining separate accounts with different providers. This is particularly relevant for businesses that invoice clients in multiple currencies while also paying overseas suppliers, where unnecessary conversion costs and delays can erode margins over time.
