Tell us what you think of the Finance Newsletter (08/10/2018)
In order to further improve how we communicate what the EU is doing in the area of banking and finance, we are carrying out another online survey on our information tools – the banking and finance web pages on the EUROPA website, our Twitter account and also the Finance Newsletter. We'd like to ask you to take 5 minutes to fill in the questionnaire, to give us an idea of what you think we're doing well, and what we might do better. Our aim is to bring you the information you want – in the best and most interesting way.

Making cross-border payments cheaper in Europe (28/03/2018)
The European Commission is today proposing to make cross-border payments in euro cheaper across the whole EU. This will eliminate the barriers that prevent consumers and businesses in non-euro countries from taking full advantage of the single market under the same conditions as those in the euro area. Since the introduction of the cross-border payments regulation in 2001, consumers and businesses in the euro area have benefited from very low fees for cross-border payments in euro. With the new proposal, all Europeans will be able to transact cross-border, in euro, at the same cost as they would pay for a domestic transaction.
