[edit] Title
The thing is called "Single Euro Payments Area", not "Single European Payments Area". The title of the article needs to be changed.
[edit] SWIFT
How does this relate to SWIFT? Anyone in the know?
[edit] SWIFT
SWIFT is the financial messaging network or the conduit for SEPA.
The payments podcast link at the bottom of the article page requires neither registration nor subscription and is purely editorial, free to access and factual in its content. As such it obeys the Wikipedia guidelines and is a useful external resource. Please do not remove it.
[edit] Other currencies?
The map also includes countries that don't use the euro (UK, Norway, Sweden, Baltic states, Poland, etc.). Does someone know how that would work in those countries? Would their currencies be linked to SEPA too somehow, or does it only concern euro transactions in those countries (and how would that work)? Or are they just symbolically in the SEPA?

- Only euro transactions to/from/between/within those countries will go through SEPA. Other transactions will go through the usual national systems. Even if the euro isn't the national currency, people may still wish to make euro transfers, mainly for international transactions. (212.247.11.155 20:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC))
So really referring to the area it applies to as the Eurozone (specifically countries which are using the Euro) is technically incorrect isn't it? If it can be used anywhere within the EEA... Stonegate101 (talk) 17:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
