Verification of Payee compliance

How Verification of Payee aligns with GDPR, DORA, EU data residency and the SEPA VoP scheme under the Instant Payments Regulation.

Compliance

How Verification of Payee meets the rules

Verification of Payee sits at the intersection of several regulatory frameworks. It is mandated by the Instant Payments Regulation, processes personal data under GDPR, and — for many PSPs — falls within the operational-resilience scope of DORA.

RoxPay delivers VoP in line with the SEPA VoP scheme rules, with EU data handling and the audit trails supervisors expect.

The result is a check that satisfies the obligation while respecting data protection and operational-resilience requirements.

FAQ

Verification of Payee compliance

Common compliance questions.

VoP is mandated by the Instant Payments Regulation, processes personal data under GDPR, follows the SEPA VoP scheme rules, and falls within DORA's operational-resilience scope for many PSPs.

Names and IBANs are personal data, so VoP must follow GDPR principles such as data minimisation and purpose limitation. RoxPay processes only what the check requires.

DORA sets operational-resilience requirements for financial entities. For many PSPs, a VoP integration falls within that scope, so resilience and oversight of the service matter.

RoxPay handles VoP data in line with EU expectations, supporting data-residency needs for PSPs and businesses operating in the EU.
