SEPA goes both ways, as opposed to what the article says It goes in the "direct debt" way as described, so your electricity or broadband supplier can charge you every month automatically But you can also "push" a payment to someone else (or yourself, of course) Not sure about fraud, from what I know, everyone that does a direct debt has an identifier that can be revoked in case of fraud. So it can happen, but there are ways to block fraudulent chargers.
