TAKING PAYMENTS TO A EUROPEAN LEVEL

The European Automated Clearing House Association (EACHA) is the technical cooperation forum of European ACHs. Its membership, currently comprising 24 institutions, gathers twice a year to discuss European developments in retail payments. The philosophy of EACHA is that healthy competition also means teamwork. This is why EACHA believes firmly in developing a common vision for
the future, and favouring harmonious implementation of European policies and schemes including interoperability based on open standards.

EACHA aims to:
  • be a forum enabling its members to share information
  • advance the views of its members on issues of general interest
  • resolve specific issues by, for instance, developing common guidelines for
    the clearing and settlement of SEPA payments.
