STET and ACI Worldwide have been working together since 2017, offering banks and payment service providers (PSP) across Europe a seamless, end-to-end solution for the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) scheme, thus facilitating the transfer and settlement of instant payments with full pan-European reachability and contributing to making instant payments a strong foundation towards a unified European payment means. STET’s platform uses ACI Low Value Real-Time Payments in a SaaS environment, offering sophisticated routing and processing capabilities to enable its 20 member banks to connect directly to the European schemes, TIPS and RT1, hence providing full pan-European reachability and interoperability for instant payments.
