Note on Domestic and Jurisdictional Payments:

While the changes described primarily affect cross-border payments and leading payment market infrastructures, please be aware that similar requirements may apply to certain domestic or jurisdictional payment as for domestic payments, requirements may vary depending on the country, region, or payment scheme. We recommend that you speak to your relationship managers for further information.

Future-Proofing recommendations: To fully benefit from this transition, we strongly recommend migrating to the ISO 20022 messaging standard, specifically using the pain.001 message format for payment initiation. This will:

  • Improve straight-through processing (STP)
  • Reduce manual interventions and errors
  • Enhance data quality and integrity throughout the payment lifecycle
  • Facilitate compliance with global regulatory and screening requirements

 

Upcoming Updates for Additional Formats

Information for other formats—including EBICS, EDIFACT, IDOC, MT10x, EPOS, Open Roads/custom formats—will be available soon. Please check back for the latest updates.

Our client testing environment will be available soon. Please check back here for the latest updates and further information.
