Most of the attention on the Instant Payments Regulation goes to the visible obligations — offering instant euro transfers and running Verification of Payee. But the regulation also carries a quieter, recurring duty: PSPs must report annually to their national competent authority. The first standardised report was due on 9 April 2026, after the European Banking Authority postponed the original 2025 deadline by twelve months to align reporting templates.
What the report covers
- Charge levels for instant credit transfers and for standard (non-instant) credit transfers.
- Evidence that instant transfers do not cost more than standard ones, as the IPR requires.
- The share of transactions rejected due to EU sanctions screening, split between domestic and cross-border.
Why it matters
Reporting is how authorities verify compliance after go-live. The data also builds, over time, the first quantitative picture of how the regulation — including VoP — is changing fraud and pricing across the euro area. It is a recurring obligation, due again each April, not a one-time filing.
- 1 Capture the required metrics on charges and sanctions-screening rejections throughout the year.
- 2 Map them to the reporting template your NCA expects.
- 3 Submit by the April deadline, then repeat annually.
Good data starts before the deadline
Reporting is easier when the underlying numbers are captured cleanly all year — not reconstructed in March.
