The white paper provides an analysis of how mobile ecosystems could evolve and interact to support SEPA card payments and SEPA credit transfers. It further incorporates new use cases based on the EPC SEPA Instant Credit Transfer scheme.

The document aims to be an informative read to any party interested in mobile payments by using a non-technical language and to inform about the EPC's views on mobile payments in SEPA.
