Accelerating SEPA Instant Readiness: Building Self-Sufficiency

Delivering fully SEPA Instant-ready payments with improved STP processing, and reduced reliance on external vendors.

A Tier 1 Global Bank needed to prepare for SEPA Instant, but a lack of governance, standardized workflows, and automated testing threatened progress.

Disjointed processes and manual interventions caused delays and inefficiencies, putting compliance at risk. RedCompass Labs delivered a streamlined integration, established automated testing frameworks, and empowered internal teams to manage their payments infrastructure independently.

The result? A fully SEPA Instant-ready bank with improved operational efficiency, faster delivery, and reduced reliance on external vendors.

The Challenge

Overcoming Complexity in Payments Modernization

Low automation

Without robust governance frameworks or automated testing, compliance efforts were inconsistent and prone to delays.

Unclear workflows

Inconsistent processes and fragmented environment configurations led to inefficiencies and uncertainty in payments delivery.challenges and delays.

Manual interventions

Ad-hoc requests, excessive manual work, and minimal documentation hampered readiness for SEPA Instant, making modernization efforts difficult to scale.

The Solution

A Structured, Scalable Approach

Seamless integration

We deployed a technical wrapper that streamlined integration with FIS PaaS, ensuring a smooth and efficient connection.

Automated testing

By implementing structured testing and deployment automation, the bank eliminated inefficiencies, reducing delays and improving consistency.

Readiness assessment

We ensured full compliance and operational readiness by embedding best-practice insights tailored to the bank’s specific requirements.

The Results: Future-Proofed and SEPA Instant-Ready

The bank successfully aligned its payments infrastructure with SEPA Instant requirements, overcoming both regulatory and technical hurdles. By streamlining processes and ensuring compliance, it positioned itself to meet evolving industry standards with confidence.

With a focus on building internal capabilities, teams gained the skills and confidence to manage their payments systems independently. This reduced reliance on external vendors, enabling faster response times, greater agility, and significant cost savings.

By implementing clear frameworks, automated testing, and optimized workflows, the bank dramatically improved efficiency and reduced time-to-market. With minimized risk and a more agile infrastructure, it is now positioned as a leader in payments modernization.
