What is CENTROlink and how does Baltic Amadeus help?

CENTROlink is the payment system operated by the Bank of Lithuania. We provide technical integration, ISO 20022 messaging support, and API documentation to help organizations connect reliably to this SEPA gateway.

Does your SEPA service include Instant Payments (SCT Inst)?

Yes, we implement SEPA Instant solutions that enable real-time euro payments, handling the complex system configuration and regulatory alignment required for instant settlements.

What is Verification of Payee (VoP) and why is it needed?

Verification of Payee (VoP) is a mandatory fraud prevention check that verifies the IBAN matches the recipient's name. We help integrate these checks to ensure compliance with the latest SEPA rulebooks.
