International Transfers in Euro

Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania is pleased to announce that, starting from October 8th, 2025, the bank has officially become a member of the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) system for Euro transfers. This milestone represents an important step for our clients, bringing greater convenience and efficiency to cross-border payments.

What is SEPA?

SEPA is a European initiative that standardizes Euro transfers both within and beyond the borders of the EU, treating them as domestic payments.

This means:

• equal conditions for transfers within and outside the country,
• greater transparency and security,
• unified procedures across all participating countries.

Benefits for Our Clients

1. Speed and efficiency – SEPA transfers are usually completed within one business day.
2. Lower fees – Transparent and more favorable costs compared to traditional international transfers.
3. Harmonized conditions – The same rules apply as for domestic Euro transfers.
4. Ease of use – Available in branches and through digital channels (Internet and Mobile Banking).
5. High security – A standardized and fully traceable process.
