What is SEPA Generator?
SEPA Generator is a desktop application by Niryosys for Windows, macOS, and Linux. SEPA Generator Pro keeps your beneficiaries, customers, mandates, and batches in a local workspace and generates SEPA Credit Transfer (pain.001) and SEPA Direct Debit (pain.008) XML files. The free Community Edition converts CSV and Excel files into SEPA Credit Transfer XML.
Does SEPA Generator send payments to my bank?
No. SEPA Generator prepares SEPA XML files that you upload through your existing online banking or file-upload channel. It does not connect to your bank, does not transmit payments, and does not execute or schedule transfers or collections.
How does the free Pro trial work?
Download Pro, open it, and choose “Start 14-day free trial” when you are ready. Every Pro feature is available for 14 days, with no credit card, no account, and no email address required. Nothing is charged automatically when the trial ends. To keep using Pro you buy a license, and your local data is never deleted.
Is the Community Edition still free?
Yes. The Community Edition is free forever and open source under Apache-2.0, with no license, no subscription, and no time limit. It is designed for file-based SEPA Credit Transfer generation from CSV, XLS, and XLSX files, with a GUI and a CLI.
Where is my business data stored?
On your computer. Beneficiaries, customers, mandates, batches, and export history are saved in a local workspace and are not uploaded to Niryosys or to Lemon Squeezy. The workspace itself is not encrypted by the app, so protect your computer as usual; Pro can additionally create optional password-encrypted backups. The app uses the internet for update checks and, in Pro, license activation.
Will my bank accept the generated file?
SEPA Generator produces standards-based pain.001 and pain.008 XML, checks your data during preparation, and Pro validates finished files against the bundled official XSD schemas. Bank acceptance is a separate decision that can still depend on your bank, upload channel, account configuration, the required message version, mandates, and bank-specific rules, so test your first file with your banking portal before production use.
Does Pro support SEPA Direct Debit?
Yes. Pro prepares SEPA Direct Debit files as pain.008.001.08, the recommended modern format, or pain.008.001.02 where a bank still requires it, with the CORE and B2B schemes. The Collections workspace keeps customers and mandates together for recurring batches; the File Generator also creates Direct Debit XML from CSV or Excel.
How much does Pro cost?
SEPA Generator Pro costs €119/year, billed as an annual subscription with three device activations. Checkout, billing, and invoicing are handled by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record, and no separate SEPA Generator account is required.
