NPC Rulebooks have been published

New updated scheme rulebooks related to the NPC Credit Transfer, Instant Credit Transfer and the Confirmation of Payee have been published today. 

The publication of new rulebooks is a result of the change management process that all NPC stakeholders and members have been invited to participate in during 2023 and 2024.

To ensure planning for all market participants to implement the changes within their organisations, the publication and effective date of the new rulebooks follow a predictable change management cycle. The NPC vision is to closely align with the EPC SEPA Credit Transfer and Instant Credit Transfer schemes, including the release management cycle.  

• The NPC Credit Transfer Scheme Rulebook and the NPC Instant Credit Transfer Scheme Rulebook will enter into effect on October 5, 2025, which is aligned with the effective date of the EPC SEPA Credit Transfer Scheme and EPC SEPA Instant Credit Transfer Scheme.
• The Confirmation of Payee Scheme Rulebook will however take immediate effect of today.

More information regarding the new updated versions, is found on this page.

All Implementation Guidelines, Clarification papers and XSD:s associated with the NPC Credit Transfer Scheme Rulebook and the NPC Instant Credit Transfer Schemes will be published in the beginning of December.
