EBA STEP2

EBA STEP2

Following the accession of the Slovak Republic to the EU and in order to standardize the execution of payments in EUR, VÚB Bank has been involved in the EBA-STEP2 European Clearing System since October 2004.

EBA-STEP2 is a payment system that enables automated payment processing within EU, EEA and Swiss banks.

In order to send a payment via EBA-STEP2, when a payment order is submitted by the client, it is necessary that, in addition to standard data, the payment is as follows:

  • currency EUR
  • payment type - standard
  • the account of the recipient always in the correct IBAN form
  • BIC - Swift code of the recipient's bank in the EU, EEA and Switzerland
  • instructions on fees - SHA (fees of the payer's bank are paid by the payer, the fees of other banks are borne by the recipient)

If the aforementioned conditions are met, VÚB Bank will ensure payment through the STEP2 system. In such a case, the client only pays the fees of VÚB Bank, payment at the recipient's bank is made in the full amount - without charging the fees of foreign banks.
