Our second Faster Payments and SEPA seminar at the LCC is a huge success

Our second Faster Payments and SEPA seminar on Wednesday 26th September at the London Chamber of Commerce was a great success. With over 90% of delegates rating the event either excellent or very good.

Faster Payments and SEPA experts Georgia Leybourne and Bob Larkham represented Albany sharing their wealth of understanding and knowledge on the subject. Georgia Leybourne outlined the key objectives and features of the Faster Payments initiative, whilst Mike Hutchinson from Bacs explained the technical requirements, and how Faster Payments will work along side the current Bacs payment scheme.

Bob Larkham, an industry-known expert on SEPA (Single European Payments Area) outlined how companies should prepare for the SEPA initative, especially in terms of account validation and the new legislation regarding the validation of BIC and IBAN data. Richard Jones from Voca continued to discuss the technical requirements of SEPA, the ease of implementation, the expected associated costs and the key release dates.

The feedback from all of the attending delegates was extremely positive, with over 90% of the delegates rating the day as either excellent or very good, and 80% of delegates rating the presentation as very good or above.

"Thoroughly excellent, the most comprehensive overview of Faster Payments and SEPA I have yet received" - Peter Harris (Office of the HM Paymaster General)
