ПРЕССЪОБЩЕНИЕ 26 януари 2012 г. Днес Управителният съвет на БНБ на основание чл. 97 от Закона за платежните услуги и платежните системи издаде лиценз за извършване на дейност като оператор на платежна система с окончателност на сетълмента в евро на „БОРИКА – БАНКСЕРВИЗ” АД. Системата с наименование БИСЕРА7-EUR обслужва клиентски преводи в евро в рамките на един работен ден и е базирана на правилата, практиките и стандартите на Единната зона за плащания в евро (SEPA). За изпълнение на преводните нареждания се използват SEPA платежните инструменти – SEPA кредитен превод и SEPA директен дебит. „БОРИКА – БАНКСЕРВИЗ" АД ще изгражда взаимни връзки с други SEPA съвместими клирингови къщи за изпълнение на нареждания за превод в евро. Дружеството вече е сключило договори за изграждане на взаимни връзки със системата на Дойче Бундесбанк „SEPA-Clearer” (Германия) и със системата на Equens SE (Холандия), които вече са в реална експлоатация.

Businesses in Europe can take a bit of a breather today, as the European Union has decided to extend the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) standard by another six months. In an effort to make payment transactions smoother between countries, the European Union had set a deadline for businesses to migrate their payment systems over to SEPA credit transfer (SCT) and SEPA direct debit systems, as opposed to the fractured, country by country system they currently rely on. News of the delay should come as a relief to quite a few, particularly in Ireland, where the number of small and medium sized businesses ready to comply with the February 1st deadline was strikingly low. According to a study by the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association (ISME), of the 980 members, a mere 22 percent were up to compliance by the end of last year (though only 2 percent had actually tested their systems with the banks). On top of this, over half of its members were only in early planning stages of compliance. Due to European business’ failure to comply on time, European Union Commissioner Michel Barnier has stated that migration rates for businesses from credit transfers and direct debits to SEPA credit transfer and SEPA direct debit are too low to ensure a smooth transition over to the new system at this time. While plenty of businesses are still lagging, reports show that a large number will be in compliance by the February deadline. And the European Union has made it very clear that businesses should be working to get up to compliance by the new deadline, or they will face penalties and serious disruption within the payment industry.
