UK PSPs to remain in SEPA
"Whatever shape Brexit takes, UK payment service providers (PSPs) will continue to take part in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).
SEPA managing authority the European Payments Council (EPC) announced the decision in March, following an application that trade body UK Finance filed with the EPC late last year."
