Record · RPS
The Bundesbank states that its RPS SEPA-Clearer procedural rules and technical specifications dated 15 November 2026 will not come into force until further notice, following the EPC Payment Scheme Management Board decision of 9 September 2026 to postpone removal of the unstructured address format. The versions dated 5 October 2025 remain in force beyond 15 November 2026, so XT33 rejection of unstructured payer and payee address data has no scheduled start date. Bundesbank reports RPS (EMZ) volumes, values and participants semi-annually; 2025 H2 is the latest published period.
