SEPA standard limits debit item to 140 characters
30/01/2014
The new SEPA regulation coming into force on February 1 2014 brings with it a series of new obligations that will affect thousands of businesses all over Europe. One of the highlights is the new 140-character limit for additional information on items such as bank debits and transfers.
Also coming into force with the SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area) ruling is the new format for debit and transfer files in the “single payment area”. This is the SEPA standard, a file in XML format that includes a number of mandatory fields, and features among which we find the cited restriction to 140 characters for the inclusion of information in the item field.
As a result, many businesses, especially those related with the utilities sector (water, lighting, gas, telephone services... etc), will find their day-to-day management affected, since they habitually use the item field to include details referring to billing and information on consumption of their services by their customers. With the limitation - a reduction from 640 to 140 characters - including these data is not feasible, so companies will have to resort to other means of communication to provide said information to their clients.
To resolve this issue, EDICOM SEPA Platform provides a distribution service for electronic invoices that automatically publishes and sends out 100% of the bills, without any limitation on the number of characters in the message.
Business@Mail is the application developed by Edicom to publish electronic invoices in a secure web portal which clients can access quickly, safely and free of charge to check their billing details. Publishing and filing are carried out in compliance with all legal requirements and guarantees, ensuring receipt and monitoring by the issuer of their processing by the receiver.
