3 Payments in Austria, Germany, Italy & CEE 11 3 Payments in Austria, Germany, Italy and CEE The following section focuses on the features specific to the relevant countries in relation to the processing of commercial payments. LCY FCY NB Local Currency Foreign Currency National Bank or Central Bank Domestic Payments are payments in LCY within the country-border, payments between residents or in Germany and Romania payments in LCY even between residents and non-residents Cross-border Payments are payments which are crossing the country s borders or payments in FCY (even if NOT crossing the country s borders) or in some countries, payments in LCY between residents and non-residents. Cross-border Payments within the EU Member States: The regulation (EC) 924/2009, which replaced the Regulation (EC) 2560/2001, stipulates that the fees levied for a cross border euro payment to a member state may not be exceed the amount of fees levied for a similar domestic euro payment in the same member country. The regulation applies to credit transfers, direct debits and also cash withdrawals at cash dispensers (ATMs) in Euro within the EEA (European Economic Area). It does not apply however for cash remittances and to cheque payments. Other member states of EEA (European Economic Area), Iceland, rway and Liechtenstein joined this regulation, hence fees levied for euro payments to the above countries are also not higher than the fees for a domestic payment. Criteria of EU regulated payments: Payment within the EU countries**, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and rway Currency of the payment = EUR Indication of IBAN (= the International Bank Account Number) and BIC (= the bank s SWIFT address) Fee sharing between payer and beneficiary (code SHA ) The impact of the EU Regulation on member states of the non-euro zone In countries of the non-eur zone, especially in the CEE countries an EUR payment within the domestic borders is a foreign currency payment. The EU Regulation has locally no, or only limited effect on the levied fees. ** i. e.

4 Direct debits 15 4 Direct debits Direct debits (DD s) make liquidity easier to manage as you know exactly when cash is flowing in or out of your account. This product enhances transparency for accounting (reconciliation) tasks and thus helps to improve your company s financial planning. Direct debits are an ideal means of payment in a business-to-consumer (B2C) as well as in a business to business (B2B) relationship. In Austria and CEE, DD s are generally available only in the respective country s local currency and only on a domestic basis. With regard to cross-border direct debits, UniCredit can provide you with individual solutions. Your advantages: Your advantage as a creditor: Improved administration of receivables enables more efficient liquidity management. Your advantage as a debtor: Payables are initiated electronically by the payee and automatically debited on payer s account. There is no risk of missing or overlooking a due payment by the payer. 4.1 Processing methods We differentiate between two basic schemes the features of which we have summarised as follows. 4.1.1 Scheme A: Refundable DD s non-final collection (typically used in a B2C-relationship) The creditor and the debtor sign an agreement ( mandate ) on refundable direct debits. This mandate is either kept at the creditor s or is passed on to the debtor s bank. The creditor sends the direct debit instruction to the debtor s bank, which debits the debtor s account. The creditor must guarantee to refund the debited amount for the case that the debtor reclaims the direct debit within a certain period (the reclaim/refund period). During this period, the debtor has the right to reclaim the debited funds without giving a specific reason. In such case, the creditor s bank refunds the money to the debtor s bank and debits the creditor s account with the reclaimed amount. Thus, the collected amount credited to the creditor s account remains credited subject to final payment until the end of the refund period.
16 Country Focus June 2015 4.1.2 Scheme B: n-refundable DD s final collection Within the EU Member states, this scheme is more frequently used in a B2B relationship, while for B2C debits finality is linked to additional criteria. Outside of the EU this scheme is used for both B2B and B2C relationships. The creditor and the debtor sign an agreement ( mandate ) on non-refundable direct debits. This mandate is kept with the debtor s bank and can be rescinded at any time. The debtor authorises his bank to debit his account on a regular basis and upon instruction sent by the creditor. To prevent mistakes or fraud, some countries allow for defining maximum transaction amounts or specific references within the mandate. Upon receipt of a direct debit instruction and provided that the mandate has not been rescinded, the instruction meets any prerequisites given in the mandate (e. g. maximum amount, specific references) and there are sufficient funds available on the debtor s account, the debtor s bank is obliged to transfer the requested amount to the creditor s bank. Partial crediting of amounts is usually not eligible. Upon execution, the transfer is considered final and may not be reclaimed. Any disputes have to be settled directly between the debtor and the creditor.
4 Direct debits 17 4.2 Direct debits overview Country Direct Debits Country Specific Remarks Legally Permitted Available via EB Tool Austria There are two different schemes available for B2C and for B2B transactions. Scheme A Einziehungs-Ermächtigungs-Verfahren (EEV) This scheme is used for DD s in B2C relationships. The direct debit mandate is archived at the creditor. The refund period is 56 days after the debit entry. In case of reclaim, the debtor may insist on having the money refunded with original value date. The money is credited to the creditor with value D+3, at the latest. BusinessLine BusinessNet MultiCash As DD s are processed via the domestic payments system, only EUR direct debits are permitted. Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Croatia Czech Republic Scheme B Lastschriftsverfahren (LS) Unless otherwise agreed, this scheme is more commonly used in B2B relationships. The mandate is filed at the debtor s bank. This type of DD is not permitted for cross-border payments. The legal framework does not permit the execution of DD s. Scheme B non-refundable DD s is supported by the domestic clearing system. DD s are only possible in local currency. The local clearing system does not support DD s, but as a special customer service, Zagrebačka Banka offers an individual solution for non-refundable DD s (Scheme B). Processing is based on proprietary formats sent via data carriers. Scheme B non-refundable DD s are supported by the domestic clearing system. Debiting a resident account and crediting the amount to a non-resident account (and vice versa) is legally permitted. The status of rejected items is not followed up by the system; as a special customer service, your local relationship manager will take care of investigations. BusinessLine BusinessNet MultiCash MultiCash Bulbank Online e-cash MultiCash BusinessNet Eltrans 2000 In addition to the clearing service conducted by the Czech National Bank, the Czech Post Office offers the SIPO -service, for electronic management of DD mandates, whereby the execution of non-refundable DD s takes place only once a month.

UC ebanking prime UC ebanking global MultiCash Hungary Both Scheme A and Scheme B DD s are supported by the domestic clearing system. These are only available in local currency (HUF).

In order to use this service, the creditor must be registered in a central registry; in addition, he must advise to the debtor of the details of the pending DD six days in advance. MultiCash Spectra SpectraNet For B2B direct debits, a single collection type of DD s is used; it does not comprise any additional information service. However, this type of DD permits agreement on partial payments as well as extended reclaim periods.
18 Country Focus June 2015 Country Direct Debits Country Specific Remarks Legally Permitted Available via EB Tool Italy There are different methods of payment collection: RI.BA. (RIcevuta BAncaria) The English translation of RI.BA. is: electronic receipt. It is a fully automated collection instrument, widely used by corporates in the B2B area. RI.BA. is a request for payment, without a previous authorisation by the debtor. A RI.BA. is issued by the supplier and sent to the customer through the banking network. When the RI.BA. is received by the debtor s bank, the debtor s bank notifies its customer within two days in order to provide an explicit endorsement to the payment execution. In case of a missing or denied endorsement the debtor bank sends an unpaid advice to creditor s bank, non paid RI.BA. are regulated latest two days after due date. According to the usual practices, RI.BA. requests are credited to the creditor s account one day after due date. Once a RI.BA. has been paid, this payment is not refundable by the debtor, similarly to a Scheme B instrument. UniWeb, TLQ SEPA-Compliant Electronic Database Alignment (SEDA) In order to maintain the RID Electronic Mandates Alignment functionalities, ABI has defined the mandate alignment service SEDA an additional optional service for the SDD schemes which aims at implementing into SEPA the standard features of the Archives Electronic Alignment (AEA). Poland Scheme A refundable DD s (Polish name: polecenie zapłaty) are supported by the domestic clearing system ELIXIR. The DD consent (paper) must be filled in by the debtor in duplicate (first for debtor s bank, second for creditor). Proffice Pekao BIZNES 24 There is a reclaim period of 8 weeks on B2C-DD s.

MultiCash Since April 2005, a new low-value clearing system provides a harmonised infrastructure for non-refundable DD s; before this point in time, DD s were processed individually by the banks, based on proprietary formats. Only RON Direct Debits are permitted. Till end of Q1 2016 the inter-banking national DD scheme will be migrated to SEPA Direct Debit scheme with an additional mandatory feature: the National Centralized Mandate Registry (RUM). All existing DD inter-banking mandates will be migrated in the new SDD scheme. UniCredit Bank SA accepts DD-instructions in different formats, tailored to the customer s individual request. For an inter-bank DD to be processed, the customer must provide the bank with the DD request at the earliest five business days before invoice s maturity and at the latest two business days before invoice s maturity, cut-off-time 12:00 EET.

20 Country Focus June 2015 5 SEPA SEPA stands for Single Euro Payments Area and is a pan-european project aimed at standardizing payments across Europe to create a single domestic payments infrastructure. SEPA principally encompasses the countries of the Euro area, but the other countries of the EU, the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, Monaco and San Marino are also included with their Euro payments. UniCredit is your perfect SEPA partner. Following the roadmap set by EU regulation 260/2012 ( SEPA migration regulation ) all local payments instruments used in the different EU Member States will be transformed according to the SEPA standards. The roadmap is as follows: January 2008 implementation of SEPA Credit Transfer vember 2009 implementation of SEPA Direct Debits February 2014 end date for national payment schemes in the Euro countries until August 2014 extension of acceptance period for electronic presentation of national credit transfers and collection authorisation in the legacy format February 2016 end date for national exceptions (e.g. use of legacy account details, ELV payment (payment at retailers by signature) in Germany) October 2016 end date for national payment schemes in the non-euro countries 5.1 SEPA Credit Transfer The main characteristics of SEPA Credit Transfers are: The transaction currency is in EURO. The account relationship of the originator and of the beneficiary is given by using IBAN (International Banking Account Number) and BIC (international SWIFT-Bank code). IBAN-only valid from 02/2016 also for cross-border transactions. Fees are shared between ordering party and beneficiary. SEPA Credit Transfers are processed in a standardized XML-data format (ISO 20022 XML). The specific fields defined in the new dataset are transported to the beneficiary in order to enable end-to-end STP processing. The processing of a SEPA Credit Transfer may last no longer than 1 business day for electronically instructed payments. For paper-based payments the execution period may be extended by one additional business day.
5 SEPA 21 5.2 SEPA Direct Debit With the implementation of the SEPA Direct Debit it is possible to process Direct Debits across borders within the SEPA area. There are two new SEPA Direct Debit Schemes, SEPA DD Core and SEPA DD Business to Business (B2B): The SEPA DD Core scheme was designed for large volume low value, mainly business to customer collections e. g. public utilities, insurances, leasing etc. with a return period of 8 weeks (without any reason by the debtor). SEPA DD B2B is a specific type of collections with a finality to be used only between corporates. The debtor bank is obliged to check direct debits against the mandate, authorised by the debtor. The main characteristics of SEPA Direct Debits are: The transaction currency is EURO. The account relationship of the creditor and of the debtor is given by using IBAN (International Banking Account Number) and BIC (international SWIFT-Bank code). IBAN-only valid from 02/2016 also for crossborder transactions. Specific SEPA Mandates (the option of the migration of the existing mandates is different country by country [for SDD Core & SDD B2B]). Mandatory pre-notification from the creditor to the debtor about the forthcoming debit. Agreed and transparent Due Date through the complete process. Mandatory Creditor-Id identifies all creditors within the SEPA area. Unique Mandate-Id. Creditor-driven mandate flow. Standardised processes for the presentation/ submission of the collections. Standardised reject, return and refund processes. Reliability and legal certainty both on the creditor and on the debtor side within the whole SEPA area. Two different products exist: SEPA Direct Debit Core and SEPA Direct Debit COR1 (with a shorter presentation period). The Payment Service Directive (PSD) implemented in fall 2009 gave legislative grounds for birth of SEPA Direct Debit. The harmonisation process of SEPA continued with EU price regulation 924/2009 aiming at levelling domestic and cross-border EUR payments and obliging banks in EU to offer SEPA instruments besides their local payment instruments as of 1 vember 2010. With EU regulation 260/2012 the end-date 1 February 2014 for national payment instruments and their conversion for SEPA was established. In February 2014 an additional 6-month transitional period until 1 August 2014 was adopted. UniCredit is one of the largest processors of SEPA collections.

9 Pooling methods offered by UniCredit 27 9 Pooling methods offered by UniCredit 9.1 Local cash concentration 9.1.1 Local effective pooling We offer Local across accounts in the same currency and which are kept within one legal entity of our banking group. The choice of options available are Zero Balancing and Target Balancing. With Zero Balancing the transfers from respectively to the participating accounts take place at the end of each day as the last booking. Credit balances in the participating accounts are swept to the Master Account and debit balances are covered via the Master Account on the same day. Thus either a pre-defined balance remains on the participating accounts in order to optimise credit line utilisation or, alternatively, transfers to the Master Account only take place after a certain pre-defined amount has been reached. That helps to minimise booking transactions and to save transfer costs. If desired, the balances shown on local currency accounts with other local banks can also be transferred on a periodic basis to an account kept with the respective local UniCredit unit. The amount accumulated on such Master Account in local currency can ultimately be converted, e. g. into EUR, and then be integrated in an international crossborder EUR pooling (no automatic conversion). Thus at the beginning of business each day a zero balance is to be found on the participating accounts. With Target Balancing the end-of-day account balances of the participating accounts are examined daily. According to the defaults defined by the customer (pre-defined balances, etc.) a credit respectively debit payment transfer will be created automatically. Target Balancing requires intensified integration in daily banking procedures by bookkeeping and Treasury. A high degree of discipline in payment business is absolutely necessary.
28 Country Focus June 2015 9.1.2 tional pooling tional Pooling allows for reducing the net interest burden without moving funds to a pooling account. Thus local units of decentralized client groups remain independent in their liquidity management. With notional pooling debit and credit balances of the participating accounts are virtually offset against each other within a single bank. This allows the real balances to remain unchanged while a theoretical consolidation is obtained on a virtual pooling account. Interest is paid respectively received on the virtually aggregated balance. 9.2 Cross-border cash concentration 9.2.1 Cross-border effective pooling Cross-Border is offered as either Zero Balancing or Target Balancing. Both variants can be implemented across all countries which do not impose capital transfer restrictions. Based on our banks mutual stro/vostro account relation ships (Zero Balancing), the options outlined can be implemented and allow for fully automated pooling. Funds concentration can also be arranged via the exchange of SWIFT MT101 messages (Target Balancing).
