ISO 20022

The de facto standard for high-value payment systems

The Need for Migration

ISO 20022 may not yet be mandatory from a regulatory perspective, but financial institutions need to act now to participate in international payment systems in the future. SWIFT will enable ISO 20022 messages for cross-border payments from November 2022, Euro1 has shifted its ISO 20022 migration deadline to November 2022 and FedWire to November 2023. Early adopters will need to upgrade their messaging interfaces and complete their testing to meet these deadlines.

ISO 20022 is already used by payment systems in over 70 countries and will soon be the de facto standard for high-value payment systems.
