About EPC QR Codes
What they are and how they work
What is an EPC QR Code?
An EPC QR Code (also known as Girocode in Germany and some other countries) is a standardized QR code format that contains all the information needed for a SEPA bank transfer. When scanned with a banking app, it automatically fills in:
- Recipient name
- IBAN
- Optional BIC
- Amount
- Payment reference
- And more
Benefits of Using EPC QR Codes
EPC QR codes make bank transfers faster, more convenient, and eliminate manual entry errors:
- Eliminate typing errors - No need to manually enter long IBAN numbers
- Speed up payments - Scan and confirm, rather than typing all details
- Improve payment accuracy - Ensure the correct reference is always included
- Better customer experience - Make paying by bank transfer as simple as possible

- E-commerce order confirmations
- Invoices (digital and paper)
