Nitpicking but this is about euro transfers so a bit less than 27 countries
3 comments

You can make EUR transfers to anyone in those 27 countries.

"Euro Transfer" as in SEPA means that the currency of the transfer is set to EUR and that currency exchange is not part of the transfer itself (it can be done at originating or retrieving bank when the account involved is not in EUR, but the transfer itself has to be denominated in EUR at entry and exit from SEPA system)

That's not true. Payments in EUR have to follow these rules.
oh god, don't go there! the payment area is not the same as Eurozone. Because no two things around here uses the same list of countries.

"There are 36 countries in the SEPA area." https://www.revenue.ie/en/starting-a-business/documents/guid...
