IPR annual reporting: what PSPs must submit

Kernpunten

  • The IPR requires annual reports to national competent authorities (NCAs), recurring each April.
  • Reports cover charges for instant vs non-instant overboekings and the share rejected by sanctions screening.
  • The first standardised report was due 9 April 2026 after the EBA postponed the original 2025 deadline.

Most of the attention on the Verordening instantbetalingen goes to the visible obligations - offering instant euro overboekings 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 overboekings and for standard (non-instant) credit overboekings.
  • Evidence that instant overboekings 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. 1 Capture the required metrics on charges and sanctions-screening rejections throughout the year.
  2. 2 Map them to the reporting template your NCA expects.
  3. 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.
