Scope
  • Instant payments have not been launched at a country level, but SCT Inst is offered by 11 participants in Ireland as of November 2023. SCT Inst is a pan-European instant credit transfer scheme launched by the European Payments Council. It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, settling funds in near-real-time. The system enables P2P, consumer-to-business, business-to-consumer, and business-to-business payments directly between accounts via different channels such as online and mobile banking, with a transaction limit of EUR100,000 ($107,323.11).
  • The growing popularity of digital-only banks is driving competition in the banking space, helping boost debit card holding. UK-based neobank Revolut offers Standard, Plus, Premium, Metal, and Ultra accounts, which include a debit card. Meanwhile, Dutch digital-only bank bunq launched in Ireland in May 2022. The bank offers debit cards to its account holders.
  • In May 2022, the Central Bank of Ireland extended the scope of its consumer protection rules to include companies offering buy now pay later (BNPL) services. As a result, companies offering credit to consumers allowing them to spread the cost of purchases across installments are required to obtain permission from the central bank. The regulator also capped the annual interest rate charged by BNPL companies at 23%. This move follows the commencement of the Consumer Protection (Regulation of Retail Credit and Credit Servicing Firms) Act 2022, which was signed into law in April 2022.
