What to expect
Wires or Book Transfers
Once the mandate takes effect in November, any Active template missing required address information will be moved to an On Hold status. You cannot use On Hold templates for payments until they are updated and reactivated. Update your templates now to avoid any interruptions processing payment.
Standard Templates
When creating or modifying Standard Templates, the Routing/Reference Information section uses the same updated field labels as in free-form payments. These changes apply to all parties where an address may be entered, including Beneficiary, Beneficiary Bank, Intermediary Bank, and By Order Of.
Today, template addresses are captured in an unstructured format.
Before November 14, 2026, to comply with hybrid address standards, template addresses must match the new labels to ensure both City and Country are provided.
User Recommendations
- If an address is provided, enter City/Town and Country in their dedicated fields.
- Enter State/Province, Zip/Postal Code in its dedicated field, where applicable.
- Append any details previously kept in Address Line 2 to the end of Address Line, which now allows up to 70 characters .
Automated updates for standard templates
To help meet hybrid address requirements, J.P. Morgan Access will automatically update eligible standard templates to comply with hybrid address requirements. The tool will review existing template data and bank reference information, and, where applicable, reorganize that information into the appropriate fields.
- Updates will be based only on existing template address data and bank reference information.
- Template statuses are not impacted and will remain unchanged. Payments in process will not be impacted by these updates.
Templates must meet the following criteria to be eligible for automated updates:
- The template is a standard template in Pending Approval, Partially Approved, Pending Activation, or Active status.
- The payment method is Wire, Book Transfer, or Drawdown.
- The template was created, modified, or used within the last 13 months.
What to expect
Scenario 1
If the City/Town field is blank, Access may auto-populate this field if there is a strong match in other address fields.
City/Town data may be included in other address lines.
Access may populate the City/Town field with the detected City/Town value.
Scenario 2
If Country is blank, Access may auto-populate it when it finds a strong match in other address fields.
Templates may include Country information in other address lines.
Access may populate the Country field with the detected Country value.
Scenario 3
If additional details follow the City/Town value, Access may keep City/Town in its field and move the rest to the State/Province, Zip/Postal Code field, as space allows.
Currently City, State and Postal code are captured in the same field.
Access will retain the City/Town value and move the remaining address details to the State/Province, Zip/Postal Code field, as space permits.
Scenario 4
For Bank data, if a matching record is found in J.P. Morgan’s bank reference data, Access may update the bank’s address using the corresponding reference data.

Enhanced Templates (BVLs)
When creating new BVLs, the same label and character limit changes apply as Standard Templates.
When modifying active BVLs, City/Town and Country appear as dedicated fields; all other labels remain unchanged.
Today, when modifying your active BVLs, your addresses are captured in an unstructured format.
Before November 14, 2026, to comply with hybrid address standards, reformat your address details according to the updated labels.
User recommendations
1. Move City/Town and Country data to their dedicated fields.
How to bulk-update standard templates:
1. In the upper right of your Templates grid, go to Utilities (three dots menu) and select “Export all Active Templates to Access CSV.”
2. For any party with an address, make sure the City and Country columns are filled in:
- Beneficiary: Columns U (Field 21) and W (Field 23)
- Beneficiary Bank: Columns AE (Field 31) and AF (Field 32)
- Intermediary Bank: Columns AU (Field 47) and AV (Field 48)

- Debit Party: Columns BO (field 67) and BP (field 68)
- Debit Bank: Columns BV (field 74) and BW (field 75)
3. Make the necessary changes in the CSV file, save the file with a new name, then re-import the updated template CSV file.
- Note: Update the Template Name in the CSV to avoid duplicate template errors during import.
4. After importing, delete the corresponding existing standard templates to prevent duplicates.

Unlocked and locked templates
Client users will need to update their templates to include the required fields before they can create payments from them again. Locked templates will require approval after the modifications are made, whereas unlocked templates can be used immediately once the changes are submitted. When a client user attempts to create a batch from an active template that does not include the town name/city and country fields, and the scenario requires these fields to be mandatory, the client user will encounter an error message when attempting to create the transaction from the template.
Example Error Messages:
Item 1: Bene/Receiver's City (Value = null) is invalid.
Item 1: Bene/Receiver's Country Code (Value=null) is invalid.
