What do you mean? Europe has had SEPA payments pretty much since the Euro came out. And most of Europe had functional bank transfers using online banking (including international ones) long before the Euro was a thing.

Edit: Do you mean that the speed of the transfers was the problem?

SPC Inst transfers up to 15,000EUR take 10 seconds, literally.

I'm aware, but I think zpeti was saying that this is a recent thing, whereas fast PP payments were already a thing ages ago.
