The SEPA Payment Portal Wearing a Government Uniform
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A German-language payment page presents itself as an official, EU-regulated merchant portal and directs visitors to send a SEPA Instant transfer.
Field notes
The page stages a payment workflow around a manually entered amount, an invoice reference, and a displayed IBAN, then requires the payer to send proof of transfer to a manager. It specifically rejects ordinary SEPA transfers in favor of SEPA Instant and lists named banks and branch-counter procedures. Government and regulatory claims include the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft, BaFin, Bundesbank, PSD2, and a purported payment-institution licence, but those claims are not independently established by the supplied page evidence.
