Full roll-out of instant payments in the euro area
Thursday, 9 October 2025 will see the full roll-out of instant payments in euros, as this is the date from which banks are required to execute them in accordance with the Instant Payments Regulation (IPR ). The aim of the IPR is to increase the accessibility, effectiveness and security of instant payments, while it also brings significant innovations for all payment service users, i.e. consumers, merchants, businesses and government bodies. Henceforth instant payments between commercial banks and savings banks in the euro area will be executed in seconds, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, without exception.
