Scope
SCT Inst is a pan-European instant credit transfer scheme launched by the European Payments Council. The scheme operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. SCT Inst settles funds in near-real-time, with recipient banks required to credit amounts to their customers no more than 10 seconds after a payment is received. A maximum of EUR15,000 ($16,098.47) per transaction was allowed initially, but this was increased to EUR100,000 ($107,323.11) effective from July 1, 2020. SCT Inst supports both individual and business transactions. However, adoption remains comparatively low in Luxembourg, with only eight participants offering the service as of February 2024.
Despite an adult banked population of 99.7% as of 2023e, financial inclusion and financial literacy initiatives remain key priorities among relevant stakeholders. Although the level of financial knowledge of Luxembourg residents is generally high, the 18–29 age group scores 63 out of 100 as per the OECD’s financial literacy measure, which is below the OECD average. To help address this issue, in March 2023, the Luxembourg Bankers’ Association Foundation for Financial Education and the Financial Sector Supervisory Commission advocated for the introduction of financial education in schools and academic institutions.
