Streamlined Bank Transfers - Now Easier Than Ever with Fewer Clicks
In a significant development for customers across the SEPA region, instant transfers via banking apps are now free and available round the clock, thanks to recent EU regulations.
This service, which includes automatic invoice recognition, allows customers to initiate transfers at any time of day, every day of the year. Many banks currently offer this service both online and via their banking apps, making financial transactions more convenient than ever.
While the exact percentage of consumers using banking apps as their primary method remains unclear, it's evident that this service is becoming increasingly popular. The service's availability 365 days a year, at any time of day, undoubtedly contributes to its growing appeal.
Previously, banks charged extra fees for instant transfers. However, as of October 9, 2025, these fees are a thing of the past, in accordance with EU regulations. This change is expected to further boost the use of banking apps for instant transfers.
It's important to note that while the specific percentage of consumers using banking apps as their primary method according to the Postbank survey from March 2025 is not available in the current search results, consulting Postbank’s official publications or recent market research reports directly related to Postbank’s consumer surveys may provide this information.
In conclusion, the convenience and cost-effectiveness of instant transfers via banking apps are set to revolutionise financial transactions within the SEPA region. With the service now available 365 days a year, at any time of day, and free of charge, it's never been easier to manage your finances on the go.
