In the 1990s, though KSC was not performing the hands-on ELV work, engineers still maintained understanding of ELVs and had contracts allowing them insight in the vehicles so they could provide knowledgeable oversight.
For example, in Germany SEPA direct debit will replace ELV, a very popular payment method offered by banks since in the 1950s.
SEPA ELV payments with a signature are usually credited four to five banking days after a clearing has been completed.
