SEPA payment
How to use this window
Use this window to enter payments in EUR to SEPA area. SEPA payments can only be made from a current account (both CZK and foreign currency). SEPA payments can be used for foreign (cross-border) payments in EUR or for payments in EUR within the Czech Republic (both outside KB and to KB accounts). You can enter more detailed identification details of the debtor and creditor in SEPA payments to be sent to a so-called SEPA compatible bank ( these data usually depend on the agreement between the debtor and creditor). A SEPA-compatible bank is a bank that accepts SEPA payments with all optional SEPA payment data. Fees for SEPA payments are always shared between the payer and beneficiary (SHA type).
Latest times for sending SEPA payments in order to keep the due date of the current Business day:
Mode of payment processing | Latest time to be sent (Business day) |
Urgent | 14:00 |
Express with conversion* outside KB | 17:00 |
Express without conversion | 20:30 |
Express with conversion* within KB | 20:30 |
*) Express with conversion – the debtor's account currency is different from the payment currency.
The table does not include payments to the target bank of KB Bratislava. Payments to the target bank of KB Bratislava received by 15:00 will be paid into the creditor's account right on the current business day; otherwise, they will be paid in on the next business day.
The guaranteed period for crediting of a SEPA payment to the beneficiary’s account is 1 business day from the due date specified in the SEPA payment (with considerations to national calendars).
Until 11:00 am, urgent SEPA payments will be processed with additional SEPA information (payment reference and optional identification data) only if the SCT purpose category-Description field contains the "SEPA" phrase.
Note: If a newly opened account is used, the active operation may be executed no sooner than after two Business days from opening. Rates used in Currency converter are only for information and not binding.
SEPA payments enter the system of multi-round processing of orders.
Note: In case the currency of the payment is different from the currency of the beneficiary’s account, the beneficiary’s bank may convert it to the beneficiary’s account currency using the exchange rate of the beneficiary’s bank.
