A QR Code That Fills In the Bank Transfer

Typing an IBAN from paper into a banking app is where payments go wrong: one wrong character and the transfer fails, or worse, the money sits in limbo for days. An EPC QR code — also called GiroCode or SEPA QR — removes the typing entirely.

The code holds the beneficiary name, IBAN, amount and payment message in a format set by the European Payments Council. The payer opens their banking app, scans, checks the prefilled transfer and confirms. No payment provider, no fees from us, no card details anywhere.

A SEPA payment code (EPC / GiroCode): banking apps across the euro area fill in the transfer for the person who scans it. Euro only.

Why It Works

No typos in the IBAN

The bank app reads the account number from the code, so the most error-prone part of a transfer is never typed by hand.

Money lands directly

It is an ordinary SEPA transfer from the payer's bank to yours — no checkout page, no processing fee, no platform in between.

Works on paper

Print it on invoices, donation leaflets, rent reminders or a club noticeboard — anywhere you would otherwise print your bank details.

Amount optional

Fix the amount for an invoice, or leave it empty for donations so each supporter chooses what to give.

How to Set It Up

  1. 1

    Fill in the beneficiary name and IBAN exactly as they appear on your bank account. The generator checks the IBAN as you type.

  2. 2

    Add an amount for invoices, or leave it blank for donations. Put the invoice number or a short thank-you in the payment message.

  3. 3

    Scan the code with your own banking app before printing, and check that every field arrives correctly.

  4. 4

    Print it next to your bank details in plain text, with a line such as "Scan with your banking app to pay".

Frequently Asked Questions

Which banking apps can scan an EPC QR code?

Support is widest in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland and the Netherlands, and growing elsewhere in the euro area; many apps show it as "scan to pay" or "photo transfer". Support varies by bank, so always keep the IBAN printed as text too. Outside SEPA, and for non-euro accounts, the code does not apply.

Can I use it for currencies other than euro?

No. The EPC standard covers SEPA credit transfers in euro only. For other currencies, link a QR code to your payment page or provider instead.

Do you see or store my bank details?

No. The free generator builds the code entirely in your browser; nothing you type is sent to our servers. The code is static, so it keeps working forever and cannot be tracked or edited.

Is it safe to put my IBAN on a QR code?

It contains exactly what you already print on an invoice: a name and an account number, which can only receive money. The payer always sees and confirms the transfer in their own banking app before anything is sent.
