  • Isoinitiatives July2018.Pdf
    Last update 31/07/2018 Introduction The ‘ISO 20022 adoption initiatives report’ contains information about projects led by communities of users adopting ISO 20022 as their messaging standard for financial business transactions. The same information is also available from the ‘ISO 20022 Adoption mApp’, an iOS tablet app that can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store. Excel documents including the same information can also be requested to the ISO 20022 Registration Authority at [email protected]. The information about each ISO 20022 initiative includes: • Business domain: ‘Payments’, ‘Securities’, ‘Foreign Exchange’, ‘Trade Services’ or ‘Cards’ • Status (of the initiative): ‘Under discussion’, ‘Planned’, ‘Roll-out/Testing’ or ‘Live’. - ‘Under discussion’: The adoption of ISO 20022 is still under discussion. The ISO 20022 messages to be adopted are not yet known. - ‘Planned’: The initiative plans to adopt ISO 20022. The ISO 20022 messages to be adopted may not be known by the owner of the initiative. - ‘Rollout/Testing’: The adoption of ISO 20022 messages by the initiative is in the rollout/testing phase. The exact ISO 20022 messages to be adopted should be known by the owner of the initiative. - ‘Live’: ISO 20022 messages have already been adopted. The adopted ISO 20022 messages should yet be known by the owner of the initiative. • (Planned) live date: reflects the date the initiative went or plans to go live. • Migration type: is related to the type of message migration by the community, and does not refer to any system migration. The options are: ‘Big Bang’ (no message standards were used before or new initiative), ‘Migration’ (migration from other message standards to ISO 20022 for all messages used in the initiative, including potential co-existence period) or ‘Phased migration’ (same as migration, but different message sets are migrating in a series of phases).

  • Understanding ISO 20022
    Understanding ISO 20022: A Resource Guide for Financial Institutions, Corporations, and the Public Authored by the ISO 20022 Education and Promotion Work Group of the Remittance Coalition’s Vendor Forum1 Many organizations currently use legacy X.12 Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) standards to enable automated, electronic exchange of key business information associated with payment processing – e.g., invoice and remittance information, deduction and adjustment codes, and more. EDI standards provide significant value to entities that have implemented them. However, these standards are based on dated technology and are expensive and difficult to implement – especially for smaller and newer businesses. Corporates can benefit from ISO 20022 as a means to simplify and standardize their treasury operations. Multinationals may benefit the most, especially those with operations in Europe given its pan-European SEPA payments system based on ISO 20022. Specific benefits cited by corporates that have adopted ISO 20022 include: lower information technology support costs; easier maintenance and troubleshooting; increased straight through processing and visibility into cash balances globally; and mobility of cash across banks and regions. ISO 20022 is a standards framework for financial services based on XML and other contemporary technologies. The ISO 20022 repository holds many payment message standards and recently has approved remittance message standards that can replace legacy EDI standards for interested organizations. For example, in 2014, two new ISO 20022 messages were established to carry remittance information: 1.) REMT1 sends full remittance detail as a stand- alone message 2.) REMT2 sends a link or other method to find the full remittance detail, also as a stand-alone message.2 While ISO 20022 remittance formats hold promise for companies seeking to gain efficiencies in their payment processes, there is a distinct lack of understanding of the standard and its benefits.

  • Guide to ISO 20022 Migration
    Deutsche Bank Corporate Bank Guide to ISO 20022 migration Part 2 Guide to ISO 20022 migration Part 2 Our “Guide to ISO 20022 migration: Part 1” was published in May 2019 and this, Part 2 in our series of ISO 20022 guides, follows only four months later. Yet the migration to this new global standard for payments messaging has made significant progress even in such a relatively brief period of time. While there has been a flurry of activity and numerous usage guidelines and updates during 2019, the main drivers continue to be SWIFT – the global body steering the migration in the correspondent banking space – and the Market Infrastructures (MIs) responsible for the world’s major currencies. As Part 1 of the Guide emphasised, banks should not consider the migration to ISO 20022 as just “another IT project” and it’s equally important that corporates do not make the mistake of writing it off as just “another bank project”. So whether it’s a global bank implementing seismic changes, or a small corporate taking more modest steps, all market participants need to be regularly updated and ensure they are moving in the right direction. This “Guide to ISO 20022 migration: Part 2” offers guidance for picking a successful route for migration and securing the full benefits of ISO 20022. Further Guides are planned as the journey continues.

  • 30 Mar 2017 Securities Services Payments Harmonization
    SIX Interbank Clearing Ltd Media Release Hardturmstrasse 201 CH-8005 Zurich www.six-interbank-clearing.com 30 March 2017 Media Relations: T +41 58 399 2227 F +41 58 499 2710 [email protected] Payments harmonization – the countdown has started Digital impulse for Switzerland – biggest financial infrastructure project in 30 years All current formats, procedures and payment slips will be replaced with the harmonization of Switzerland's payment traffic. Payments will henceforth be based on the globally recognized ISO 20022 standard. This ensures that Switzerland's payment processes are digitalized, making them far more efficient and economical for all market participants. Swiss financial institutions will complete their changeover by the end of 2017, corporate customers by mid- 2018 at the latest. All common payment paths will continue to be supported after the replacement of the payment slips. Digitalization and regulation are two essential drivers of the project. The proportion of electronically executed customer payments has meanwhile risen to 74% and is steadily increasing. Nevertheless, the cycle from billing to payment receipt is still not seamlessly integrated, which entails manual work for corporate and private customers. The project has received urgency since the introduction of the adapted regulatory rules in 2016. The implementation to the adapted rules will be supported and the work steps simplified with the changeover to ISO 20022. Changeover to a proven standard Switzerland enjoys high interconnectivity around the globe, and more than half of all cross-border credit transfers are executed in euro. The Swiss financial center has decided to approach the harmonization on the basis of the internationally recognized ISO 20022 standard, which is also being applied in the eurozone.

  • The MT940 Project Requirements Document
    The MT940 Project Requirements Document M. Janek R. Khadka S. Jansen Technical Report UU-CS-2011-001 January 2011 Department of Information and Computing Sciences Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands www.cs.uu.nl ISSN: 0924-3275 Department of Information and Computing Sciences Utrecht University P.O. Box 80.089 3508 TB Utrecht The Netherlands Abstract This document describes a preliminary support infrastructure for MT940 services in a public Ser- vice Oriented Architecture and serves as an initial reference for developing MT940 parsing func- tionality. Its aim is to present functional, technical and process (organizational) requirements gathered by interviewing companies participating in the project. The document outlines a solution for technical implementation and provides a discussion about the organizational issues faced by a soon-to-be-created MT940 consortium. 1 Introduction The ServiciFi [3] project aims to identify and extract reusable services from large monoliths of financial software. Software monoliths have several well-known disadvantages (e.g., inflexibility, domain unspecificity, and hard to maintain), recognized by both the vendors and customers of these software products. Thus, ServiciFi aims to extract reusable services from monoliths of fi- nancial software using the Service Extraction Process. The MT940 project is the first attempt to transform a closed source, company specific code into a shared service. The MT940 project is part of the ServiciFi project - it is the first attempt of ServiciFi to create a shared, reusable service based on the functionality that is currently implemented separately by each company. The reason for this is that there is currently no open source component natively available for technological platforms of all the participating companies.

  • Decoding Payments Message Standards
    Decoding payments message standards October 2019 Foreword Dear readers, It is our pleasure to bring to you the latest edition of PwC’s payments newsletter. In this edition, we have focused on the technology behind message formats and specifications for processing transactions across various payments systems, the benefits of message standardisation across payment rails, and how ISO 20022 can help to achieve security and transparency across domestic and cross-border payments. We have also evaluated the ISO 20022 payments message standard and use cases, compared this standard with other existing payments message standards, and provided suggestions on the way forward towards standardisation. We hope you will find this to be an insightful read.
