# Article 6 — Transfers of funds to outside the Union

**Source:** [Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 — EUR-Lex](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32023R1113)

1. In the case of a batch file transfer from a single payer where the payment service providers of the payees are established outside the Union, Article 4(1) shall not apply to the individual transfers bundled together therein, provided that the batch file contains the information referred to in Article 4(1), (2) and (3), that that information has been verified in accordance with Article 4(4) and (5), and that the individual transfers carry the payment account number of the payer or, where Article 4(3) applies, the unique transaction identifier.
2. By way of derogation from Article 4(1), and, where applicable, without prejudice to the information required in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 260/2012, where the payment service provider of the payee is established outside the Union, transfers of funds not exceeding EUR 1 000 that do not appear to be linked to other transfers of funds which, together with the transfer in question, exceed EUR 1 000, shall be accompanied by at least:
   1. the names of the payer and of the payee; and
   2. the payment account numbers of the payer and of the payee or, where Article 4(3) applies, the unique transaction identifier.

By way of derogation from Article 4(4), the payment service provider of the payer need not verify the information on the payer referred to in this paragraph unless the payment service provider of the payer:

```
1. has received the funds to be transferred in cash or in anonymous electronic money; or
1. has reasonable grounds for suspecting money laundering or terrorist financing.
```

## What this means in practice

For outbound (extra-Union) transfers, the **full Article 4 payload travels with the transfer by default**. Two narrow concessions:

1. **Batch file transfers** (para 1) — the individual items only need the payer's account number or UTI provided the batch carries full payer/payee information that has been verified.
2. **Small non-linked transfers** (para 2) — for transfers ≤ EUR 1 000 to a non-EU payee that are not linked to other transfers pushing the total over EUR 1 000, the payload reduces to names + account numbers/UTI, and verification of payer information is optional unless the funds are cash/anonymous e-money or there is suspicion.
