Six Automated Clearing Houses processing the majority of retail payments in Europe will test compliance with 
SEPA  standards using the 
SWIFT Testing Programme.  ACHs are also encouraging their clients, the major banks across Europe, to join the one-time testing programme as part of their operational readiness assessment.  More than 130 financial institutions have registered to date.
 The SEPA  Testing Programme is managed by SWIFT and designed in close coordination with the European Payments Council. It also meets calls from regulatory authorities for SEPA  compliance of ACHs. 
 
The SEPA  Testing Programme will go live on 2 July 2007.
