Quite the opposite – SEPA direct debit is an extremely successful payment scheme in many European countries.

Note that, at least in France, you can't do a SEPA direct debit with only the account number.

You need a SEPA dd "mandate" which is a (paper or electronic) document account owner asks their bank for, containing a unique identifier
