Record · AIPS
Albania joined SEPA on November 5, 2025, becoming the first Western Balkans country in the scheme. Cross-border transfer fees for small-to-medium payments dropped from an average of 0.76% to 0.08% following SEPA accession. The Bank of Albania publishes AIPS daily averages for both transaction count and value in the payment systems chapter of its annual report, so the figures on this record are no longer derived. AIPS EURO, the separate euro-denominated domestic system, is not included in these figures.
