"We are also working closely with the card networks to support

  better card payments experience than most websites offer today"

Personally I believe this project is redundant since Apple Pay, Google Pay and a bunch of quote popular national/proprietary solutions achieve similar goals as they stand today.  SRC looks pretty complex as well.  184 pages for the core specification alone!

Taking Account-to-Account payments like SEPA Inst to the POS Terminal and preferably with a solution that also works On-line would have a bigger impact since it is currently largely unresolved. In addition to being secure it must usage-wise be comparable to Apple/Google Pay in order to also make sense for the consumers.
