Frequently asked questions

All about CentralPay bank transfer payment solution

SEPA is the European Union's initiative to simplify and harmonize bank transfer payments, direct debits and credit card payments in euros within the 30 member countries of the European Economic Area.

Among SEPA payment methods, SCT (SEPA Credit Transfer) is the bank transfer system that enables debtors to transfer funds online, in euros, between two accounts within the zone. A SEPA bank transfer and an SCT therefore correspond to the same service.

Transfer orders entered from Monday to Friday, before 6pm (excluding public holidays), are executed within a maximum of one working day.

For transfer orders issued after 6pm, weekends and public holidays, they are processed on the next working day.

No. Just like a classic IBAN, your CentralPay virtual IBAN is associated with your CentralPay payment account, and enables you to accept transfers to this account only.

The transfer payment solution also lets you associate virtual IBANs dedicated to your customers or specific invoices, so you can automatically identify the origin of incoming transfers and instantly update the balance. Please note that regardless of the virtual IBAN used, the funds will always be transferred to your CentralPay payment account.

Yes. Virtual IBANs remain valid for as long as you consider them useful. Your customers can use the same virtual IBAN several times, which is particularly useful in the case of regular or installment payments, for example.

There are several advantages of using SEPA credit transfer payments:

  • Low costs: These involve transaction fees, charged by the PSP, but which are significantly lower than the various credit card fees.
  • Initiated by the seller: Once a bank transfer has been made, it is impossible to contest it, an important guarantee for the merchant, who doesn't have to worry about chargebacks.
  • Security: Once a SEPA credit transfer order has been issued, funds are transferred directly from account to account, without any third-party intervention.
  • Optimized collection: With dedicated virtual IBANs, it improves relations between professionals and automates the debt collection.

Also known as an “instant bank transfer”, this type of transfer enables immediate execution of funds transfers between two accounts in the SEPA zone. Unlike conventional SEPA bank transfers, funds are available on the account in less than 10 seconds, whatever the day or time.

Whether or not your customers use instant transfers depends essentially on their bank, which may or may not offer this service, free of charge or not.

As soon as your CentralPay account is active, you'll be able to generate virtual IBANs, enabling you to customize your payment journeys according to your payment, reconciliation, and automation needs.

Whether you're using CentralPay services via API or from the BackOffice, all you have to do is specify that you want to generate a virtual IBAN when creating a customer profile ("Customer"). It will then be visible in your BackOffice, payment requests or API requests.
