The European Payments Council (EPC) Quick Response (QR) code is a technical standard by the European Payments Council. It uses a QR code containing all the necessary information for initiating a SEPA credit transfer (SCT). It is commonly used on invoices and payment requests in the countries that support it (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands).
The EPC guidelines[1] are available from the EPC itself. Another version[2][3] has also been published by the Federation of Finnish Finance Services (FFI).
