SEPA File Format Tab of Banks Settings Form

The SEPA file format is the Single Euro Payments Area .xml file format that is commonly used in European countries.

Use this tab to enter information for the SEPA file format if you selected SEPA in the Export to Text Format field on the Options tab of this form. The SEPA format produces an XML file that contains the SEPA service level code. You can also use the SEPA format for other service level codes, such as SDVA, URGP, or NURG. To use the SEPA format for other service level codes, after the XML file is generated in the export-to-text process, edit the XML document and replace the SEPA service code level with another code.
