STEP2 concepts Efficiency Capacity Resiliency Reachability 5
STEP2 concepts: Efficiency Cost efficiency through the use of the same system for the national payment traffic of several communities and for cross-border euro payment traffic within SEPA Liquidity efficiency savings through multilateral netting Pricing model taking into account different user profiles and requirements 6
STEP2 concepts: Capacity Capability of handling hundreds of millions of SEPA payments per day all over Europe in a reliable and fast manner Faster processing option (batch processing) for SCT and SDD based on pre-sorted files per receiving participants 7
STEP2 concepts: Resiliency Back-up site synchronised in real-time with primary site Third site >500km away from the other two sites will further strengthen the system s high resilience levels Preparation for compliance with Systemically Important Payment Systems (SIPS) requirements Enhancing settlement certainty of STEP2 8
STEP2 concepts: Reachability Full reach for SEPA Credit Transfers (4,600+ BICs) Full reach for SEPA Direct Debit Core (3,800+ BICs) Over 3,300 BICs reachable in SEPA Direct Debit B2B Building full reach for Core D-1 option Support of many Additional Optional Services (AOS) Links established with 14 other SEPA CSMs 9

Drivers for change STEP2 will further evolve in three directions: Further cost savings for our participants Risk control measures Enrichments of the functionalities requested by users 20
Compliance with PFMIs Consolidate positions across services Irrevocability file processing Governance SDD contingency cycle 21
User change requests Larger input and output files IBAN-BIC directory SDD later cut-offs SDD with additional certainty Real time payments 22
Economies of scale Additional domestic migration Re-using STEP2 outside Europe Other currencies in Europe SEPA Card Clearing 23
Conclusions 24 STEP2 A proven platform created by users for users 24
