SEPA transfer QR code

Free SEPA transfer QR code generator

Put an EPC QR code on an invoice, a donation poster or a counter. The payer scans it with their banking app and the transfer fills itself in: no typing the IBAN.

How to make one

  1. Enter the name and IBAN. The name on the account and its IBAN, with or without spaces. We check the IBAN's own check digits, so a mistyped one is caught before you print.
  2. Add an amount and a reference, if you like. Leave the amount empty to let the payer type it. A reference, like an invoice number, travels with the transfer to your statement. An RF creditor reference works too.
  3. Leave the BIC empty, usually. Inside the SEPA area banks find the bank from the IBAN. Add the BIC only if your bank asks for it.
  4. Download and test. Scan the code with your own banking app and check that the name, IBAN and amount fill in correctly, before you print or send it.

What's inside the code

An EPC QR code, the format the European Payments Council set for SEPA credit transfers (EPC069-12), known in Germany as GiroCode. It holds the name, IBAN, amount and reference as plain text, so the payer's banking app can fill in the transfer. It's made in your browser, so your IBAN isn't sent to us, and QR Code Spot never sees or handles the payment.

Where it works

It's a transfer in euro inside the SEPA area. Most banking apps in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland read these codes; support in other countries varies by bank. If a payer's app can't read it, they can still type the details printed next to the code, so print the IBAN and name too.

Check it before printing

The code follows the European Payments Council's QR guidelines (EPC069-12). QR Code Spot isn't connected with the European Payments Council or with any bank.

Questions

Is this SEPA QR code generator free?

Yes, with a free account and no card. There are no fees from us, and the code doesn't expire.

Is this the same as a GiroCode?

Yes. GiroCode is the name German banks use for the EPC QR code. It's one standard, read by banking apps across the euro area.

Can I use it on invoices?

Yes. Make one per invoice with the amount and the invoice number as the reference, then add the image to the invoice, ideally next to the IBAN in plain text.

Does it work for accounts outside the euro area?

Only for IBANs from SEPA countries, and the transfer is always in euro. Outside SEPA, use your bank's own payment link or a Link code.

Does the BIC matter?

Inside SEPA, banks find the bank from the IBAN, so it's optional. Add it only if your bank asks for it.
