A SEPA payment is a payment in EUR to a bank within the European Economic Area (see list of countries), and is sent to an IBAN. IBAN is an internationally recognised account number system which precisely identifies the recipient’s account. The length of an IBAN account number is different in every country. Latvian IBAN numbers are 21 characters long and begin with LV. To ensure that the payment is made correctly, the Recipient Account field is a verifiable field.
To make a SEPA payment, after opening the app,
you will be asked to log in with your authorisation device.
After you log in successfully, you will automatically view a screen which shows your account balances.

Click “Next” and confirm the payment with your authorisation tool.
Bear in mind:

- you can check your payment limits in Online banking.
You will have to sign the payment using a code from your authorisation device (for example, signing the payment with your MobileSCAN PIN).
