Payee verification applies from 5 October 2025 to SEPA credit transfers and SEPA instant. Euro urgent transfers and foreign payments sit outside it. A single instant transfer sent under CIP is rejected. Batch transfers holding one transaction may still go under CCT until further notice, under a BaFin publication.
An opt-in file reaches the distributed signature only once its VPZ report is final, and is then authorised or cancelled as a whole. Partial authorisation inside a collective order is not possible.
Direct debits, each requiring a collection agreement.
Key management and protocol housekeeping. We run these during setup and afterwards.

Dates the bank has announced. What we do about each one is ours.
Upcoming events in our register
DTAZV is discontinued at the end of the month. Foreign payments move from AZV to pain.001.001.09 under AXZ. We have never produced DTAZV.
pain.001.001.03 and pain.008.001.02, DK specification 3.0 to 3.6, are withdrawn. Our engine emits pain.001.001.09 today for other banks.
If all of this looks like a lot · it does not have to be
Five steps to a live SaarLB connection.
You do not need to know what any of the codes above mean. Our setup guide walks you through it one screen at a time.
- 1
Request the agreement from SaarLB
EBICS starts with paperwork. We draft the email, you send it, and you tell us when it has gone. There is nothing to configure until the bank replies.
- 2
Set up and send your keys
Enter the values from the agreement SaarLB returns. We already hold the ones that are public, so most of the form is filled in. Then one press generates your three key pairs and sends the public halves.
- 3
Prove your identity on paper
EBICS confirms the key exchange on paper, by design. We print the initialisation letter carrying the fingerprints SaarLB will check. You sign it by hand and send it.
- 4
Verify SaarLB and go live
While you wait, we fetch the bank's public keys and check them against the fingerprints it gives you over a separate channel. When that lands, you choose which approval policy governs payments here, and the connection switches on.
- 5
You are now in production with SaarLB
Payments go out as pain.001 and statements come back as camt. The connection runs unattended from here.
