Payment
The National Payments Plan (NPP), launched in April 2013 by the Department of Finance, has a primary aim of modernising and reducing the cost of Ireland’s payment system through the increased use of more efficient payment methods, thereby leading to increased competitiveness and efficiency.
To comply with this requirement, SFPA is no longer accepting payments by cheque and asks that payments are made by electric funds transfer.
