Easter Weekend to See Temporary Suspension of Interbank Transfers in Eurozone

Scheduled maintenance of the Target2 system will halt standard interbank transfers from April 17 to April 21, 2025, while internal and instant transfers remain unaffected.

Overview

  • The Target2 system, which facilitates interbank transfers across the Eurozone, will undergo maintenance from Thursday evening, April 17, to Monday night, April 21, 2025.
  • Standard interbank transfers will be suspended during this period, but internal transfers within the same bank and instant payment services will remain operational.
  • This year's maintenance schedule avoids the end-of-month timing that caused salary delays during Easter 2024, ensuring salary deposits remain unaffected.
  • The maintenance schedule, coordinated by the Banque Centrale EuropĂ©enne (BCE) and French banking authorities, also includes a planned closure on May 1, 2025.
  • Customers are advised to plan ahead by rescheduling standard transfers or using instant transfer services during the maintenance period.
