Spotlight: End of Unstructured Addresses and MT101 Coexistence Deadline November 2026

  • End of unstructured address: Effective 14th of November 2026, unstructured postal addresses will be removed for cross border payments over Swift CBPR+ as well as key Payment Market Infrastructures (PMIs). Financial Institutions and Corporates sending payments that include addresses must comply by using either hybrid or fully structured address. Where MT messages are still being used, structured Town Name and Country elements should be included(F-Option). Future Value dated payments: When sending payments with a value date of 14th November or greater, wherever possible, we strongly encourage using hybrid or structured address. If that is not possible before the November go-live, at a minimum, Town and Country should be included in the unstructured address lines.​  NB: Some Domestic PMIs will continue to support unstructured address after 14th November however any payment that has a cross border payment leg will always need hybrid or structured address.​ ​
  • FI End of coexistence for MT101: Financial institutions (FIs) and non-financial institutions (NBFIs) instructing
  • MT101 over SwiftFIN must migrate to pain.001, as the end of coexistence for the message is November 2026.Corporates over SCORE or MACUG are not impacted by the end of coexistence and can continue sending MT101​

Removal of unstructured postal address

  • Update all Swift payment instructions to include structured Town Name and Country elements or fully structured address.​

  • Begin collecting town and country information from payees if not already available. ​

  • Identify payment flows using addresses and ensure Town/City and Country are in structured fields; prefer fully structured where feasible. Avoid the term or variations of ‘NOTPROVIDED’​

  • When sending future-value dated transactions from now until 14th of November, with the settlement date post 14th November 2026, please aim to include hybrid / structured address within the messages for J.P. Morgan to process these payments straight-through.​

  • Leverage Swift tools for validation of messages containing hybrid/structured addresses.​

  • For more information on postal address changes, please refer to the PMPG attachments for further guidance. (Useful links below)​

     

    End of coexistence for MT101 over Swift FIN for FIs/ NBFIs

  • Swift will introduce a contingency service to automatically translate any FIN MT101 message received and translate to pain.001 before delivering them to the next agent/ receiver onSwiftFIN+.  Please note that this service is for Financial Institutions that are not to meet Swift’s CBPR+ deadline to send pain.001 by November 14, 2026.​

  • The MT sender is subject to additional Swift charges.​

  • Review and assess existing payment initiation systems and data formats. Plan and execute migration from MT101 to pain.001 by November 2026, and leverage SWIFT tools for validation.​

  • Corporate Swift members using SCORE / MA-CUG will not be impacted by this deadline. They can still use MT101, however they need to update the message to meet hybrid address requirementsfor this November mandate.​

     

    Enquiry & Investigation Mandate for November 2026​

     

  • Starting 14 November 2026, Swift is mandating all Financial Institutions to be able to receive Enquiry & Investigation messages in MX format (Camt.110 and Camt.111). J.P. Morgan will be ready to receive the MX messages in line with the mandate of14 November 2026.​

      c. FAQ

What does ISO 20022 mean for our clients?

Banks and Non-Bank Financial Institutions that are connected to the Swift FINPlus platform must be able to: 

  • Follow the Swift end of coexistence roadmap and J.P. Morgan adoption schedule
  • Continue to plan and budget for ISO changes whilst keeping in mind the need for interoperability between cross border andPMIs. 
  • Stay informed of evolving market practices and follow industry guidance

Banks, Non-Bank Financial Institutions and Corporate Clients who connect to J.P. Morgan via our proprietary channels:

  • The removal of unstructured address data is impacting proprietary channels and will result in required changes. Please consult the J.P. Morgan Channels Users section for further information.
  • Start assessing plans for adopting the ISO 20022 standard soon 
  • Evaluate benefits of enhanced data and assess how your business will take advantage

Corporates who connect to J.P. Morgan via Swift SCORE or a CUG (Closed User Groups):

  • Corporate Clients currently sending MT101 over SCORE (Swift Standardized Corporate Environment) can continue to send MT101 as there is no deadline for corporates to migrate to ISO.
  • As part of Swift SSR2026, it is recommended to have MT101s adopt F tag changes pertaining to the end of unstructured address. This will help J.P. Morgan process and forward the payment message for further processing.
  • Whilst there are no deadlines on SCORE for corporates to migrate to ISO, J.P. Morgan will start to offer SCORE Plus, including the pain.001 message, selectively in 2026. Please contact your J.P. Morgan representative for more information.

 

After November 2026, when sending an MT101 to J.P.  Morgan, please ensure that address data includes Town Name and Country as structured elements, even when submitted via semi-structured fields.

 

Example using the MT101 Field 59 (F-option) format for a hybrid postal address:

:59F:/BE30001216371411

1/JOHN SMITH

2/HOOGSTRAAT 6, 18TH FLOOR

3/BE/BRUSSELS, 1000

 

Where:

1/= Name (JOHN SMITH)

2/=Address Line (HOOGSTRAAT 6, 18TH FLOOR)

3/=Country Code (BE), Town Name (BRUSSELS), and Postal Code (1000)

 

  • If agents are identified by name and postal address in MT messages, the D option should be used. This approach ensures frictionless processing by the Debtor Agent upon receipt, aligning with best practices for address data submission.
  • With the implementation of Standards Release (SR) 2026, from November 2026 onwards, only Option F in MT101 messages will enable the transmission of properly structured postal addresses—specifically, the line containing the Town Name and Country Code will be mandatory for cross-border payments. Only Option F provides the structure required for these transactions.
  • Some local payment methods - such as domestic transfers or SEPA - may still allow the initiation of payments using MT101 fields 50/59 with unstructured data. However, when address details are provided in an unstructured format, the bank processing the transaction will not be able to pass on these details. This limitation could lead to payment delays, rejections, or costly follow-up inquiries, especially for cross-border payments where structured address information is required

 

J.P.Morgan Thought Leadership

J.P. Morgan adoption schedule of ISO 20022 messaging

To ensure the ISO200022 industry migration that takes place in November 2025 goes as smoothly as possible, J.P. Morgan has released its schedule of when it will be able to receive and send specific messaging types. These dates only apply to Swift users using Swift FINPlus, not for electronic channels. Review the charts to see when those actions will be possible. (Dates are subject to change)

View J.P. Morgan’s adoption schedule

Overview

In March 2023, CBPR+ went live, requiring all FIs and NBFIs to receive ISO 20022 MX payment instructions messages or Swift’s multi-format payment messages. Since 22 November 2025, ISO 20022 has become the exclusive standard for cross-border payments and reporting, replacing legacy MT formats. Market Infrastructures (MIs), including TARGET2/EURO1, have also fully adopted the ISO 20022 standards, aligning with global efforts to standardize and enrich payment messaging.

  1. Refer to the latest information available at the Swift Knowledge Centre, including Operations Guide, Service Description, Business Processing Rules and FAQ documents.
  2. Understand the plans of your payment service providers like J.P. Morgan to align your plans accordingly. 
  3. Have an implementation plan for fully transitioning to ISO MX messages and consider all potential operational and technology impacts. 
  4. Please note that end of unstructured address deadline is November 2026, and only hybrid or fully structured address are going to be accepted by Swift after this date.
  5. Develop a plan to add structured address data for your clients where they are debtor party, and work with your clients to start collecting and organizing beneficiary details in structured format. 
  6. Be aware of market developments and recommendations during the implementation phase, including those related to industry truncation risks.

 

  • As of November 2025, all payment instructions must be exchanged in the ISO 20022 MX format. Instructions sent in the MT format will be automatically converted by Swift to the MX format.
  • Connection to the Swift FINPlus platform will enable Swift's In-Flow Translation service, which will allow you to receive the MX message with embedded MT message, if you are not ready to receive native MX payment messages. Please contact Swift to arrange this service,
  • Check with your compliance team to understand your obligations related to enhanced data received within the MX messages.

MT9xx remains the default reporting option sent by J.P. Morgan:

  • Please refer to the latest Swift communication about timeline of implementation CBPR+ messages. 
  • Following Swift’s announcement extending the MT reporting deadline to November 2028 (status for March 2028) , J.P. Morgan is planning to roll out MX reporting late 2026 for clients that opt in, and will continue to use enhanced MT9xx statement and advice reporting messages as the default until further updates are provided.
  • J.P. Morgan will continue to send MT9xx as the default option (note: this does not apply for serial third party credit advices where we will send pacs.008/009).
  • Late 2026 you will be able to opt in to receive Cash Management messages (camt .052, .053 and .054) by contacting your J.P. Morgan representative.
  • We have a camt.53 and camt.054 schema on our Swift MyStandards page, to clarify key formatting features, particularly for elements subject to interpretation. Additionally for Payment Notification camt.054 you can refer to J.P. Morgan Formatting  Guide

Providing enhanced information within MT9xx messages:

  • Since the adoption of camt. messages is expected to take place gradually, where possible we are adapting our MT9xx messages for credits, to append useful information from MX payment transactions, leveraging CBPR+ guidelines (access to Swift resources only for registered users):
    • Providing pacs End2End ID Transaction reference as the "Related Reference" (e.g., MT910 field 21, MT940 Field 61 subfield 7) for credit transactions within the MT9xx series messages (excluding scenarios where we already customize this for clients).
    • Mapping enhanced ISO data fields from the MX messages into the MT9xx series messages where there is enough space to do so (MT910 field 72, MT940 field 86) while avoiding impact to existing reference and data mapping features.
    • Including "+" at the end of fields where possible, when data cannot be included due to insufficient space; this may apply to Related Reference, Party and Agent details and Sender to Receiver / Detailed Transaction Information fields within MT9xx series messages. 
    • These features are available for most EMEA account locations.

ISO camt message types do require an RMA. To lessen the operational impact, Swift provided an optional bootstrap event for camt.052/053/054 message types in recent years.

We strongly encourage our clients to opt-in to—taking part in the bootstrap events, this will save time and the manual effort of bilateral RMA exchanges at the point of migration. Please consult the Swift RMA Support Page for Swift plans.

A new hybrid postal address format was introduced to Swift FINPlus network in November 2025, allowing simultaneous usage of structured and unstructured elements, with structured Town Name and Country as mandatory minimum.

Please continue to follow all current local laws and regulations for payment and beneficiary address information as required. ​

Note: Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC ) requires full complete address that includes street number, street name, city, province or state, postal code or zip code, and country code.​

Timelines:

  • Fully structured: already allowed today and preferred & recommended option in the future
  • Fully unstructured: Only allowed until November 2026
  • Hybrid address: Allowed as of November 2025 (no end-date)

The hybrid address format permits the concurrent use of structured elements within the Postal Address and the 'Address Line' element.

When utilizing a hybrid address, Town Name and Country are mandatory separate components within the Postal Address, similar to their requirement in a fully structured address.

The Address Line element in the postal address can consist of up to 2 lines, each containing up to 70 characters (2*70) in the Hybrid format.

It is important that the structured address information provided in the respective structured elements is not duplicated in the Address Line elements.

For details please refer to The Payments Market Practice Group (PMPG) guidelines here or here.

When sending future-value dated transactions from now until 14th of November, with the settlement date post 14th November 2026, please aim to include hybrid / structured address within the messages for J.P. Morgan to process these payments straight-through.

For J.P. Morgan approach for Hybrid Address in bank electronic channels and impact on Corporate clients initiating payments, please check here.

J.P. Morgan will continue to accept Swift MT210 messages until 2028 (in line with the Swift roadmap) in account locations where those messages are accepted today. J.P. Morgan accepts camt.057 messages instead of MT210 messages in those account locations; however, note only single camt.057 messages are accepted and not multiple advices within the same message.

For returned payments, where  possible, we will provide return reason information as well as  the most relevant reference information to clients (i.e., their original debit or credit references) to aid reconciliation and onward processing.

Information on our camt. 052/3/4 message formatting is provided within our camt.053 and camt.054 schema, on our Swift MyStandards page.

Other details: J.P. Morgan is now sending pacs.004 for returning settled payments. Clients wishing to receive these messages in MT format can do so by using the Swift in-flow translation service.

Clients can use pacs.004 message to initiate return messages via J.P. Morgan although it is also acceptable to continue using MT with /RETN/ codewords, or even initiate the return as a new payment.

Please reference the ISO codes for returns messages, as per industry guidelines.

For CBPR+ transaction legs, J.P. Morgan will initially issue recalls and rejections and respond to incoming requests (including incoming camt.056 FI to FI Cancellation message) using existing MT message types and practices. We will start sending the camt.056 and camt. 029 (Resolution of Enquiry) messages as industry adoption increases.

Similarly, J.P. Morgan will continue to use the MT199 in most instances to reject payment requests for CBPR+ transaction legs and will start sending the pacs.002 negative Customer Status Report as industry adoption increases.

As per recent Swift announcement, Swift is postponing the mandate to exchange all payment cancellation messages via the Stop and Recall Process (SRP) to November 2027. ​

As a result, all payment cancellation messages (including CCT) can continue to be exchanged bilaterally in both MT and ISO 20022 formats until November 2027. Stop and Recall will continue to be available to Case Management and GPI participants.  ​

 ​For details, please refer to  KB article

We do not plan to send (or receive) any optional pacs.002 positive or pending status reports in the future.

We're working hard to ensure the services driven by bilaterally agreed codewords for data patterns continue working seamlessly for clients moving to MX messages. If this applies to you and you would like more information, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions. For more information on formatting bilaterally agreed codewords within the pacs.008 and 009 schemas, please refer to J.P. Morgan's Swift MyStandards schemas on Swift‍.‍com. If you require further clarification or need access to J.P. MyStandards, please contact your J.P. Morgan representative.

  • Check our testing guide, it aims to provide our clients with a useful reference point for their CBPR+ readiness, expanding on J.P. Morgan’s lessons learned as an industry leader in ISO 20022 adoption.
  • Reference the Swift MyStandards schemas and the CBPR+ sample message library on Swift.com
  • Access J.P. Morgan's Swift MyStandards schemas on Swift.com (currently available for pacs.008, pacs.009, and camt.054 and camt.053) which identifies how to populate bilaterally agreed codewords and indicators in the new schemas. (You will need to request access to this user group on Swift.com)
  • Use Swift’s Sparring Partner tool, which may reduce the need for bilateral testing between Swift members. (For more information on this tool, please contact your Swift representative.) 

The end of coexistence for MT101 messages is due by 14th of November 2026, with all client migrations to be completed ahead of this date. As per Swift changes all Swift members involved in CBPR+ migration are required to be ready to receive the pain.001 v9 bank to bank messages since November 2025 (SR2025).

J.P. Morgan adopted the CBPR+ pain.001 v9 bank to bank message and is able to receive from November 2025, on a send basis Q4 2026, and a relay date to be confirmed.

In addition to this, using a risk based approach, J.P. Morgan has decided it will not require a specific pain.001 bilateral agreement.

End of coexistence for MT101 message is due end of November 2026, with all client migrations to be completed ahead of that milestone.

J.P. Morgan will initiate charge claims via MT191 and CAMT.106, and J.P. Morgan accepts incoming camt.106. and MT191 charge claims. 

J.P. Morgan's Gateway service enables us to capture a Client’s Fedwire- or CHIPS-initiated transactions through J.P. Morgan and complement those transactions with value-added services and products.

As the Federal Reserve Bank adopted the ISO 20022 message format for the Fedwire Funds Service, clients should adhere to the Federal Reserve's formatting guidance to participate in the Fedwire service.

J.P. Morgan’s Gateway service is fully capable of supporting the ISO 20022 message format with no special or additional formatting requirements to maintain its current functionality.

Prepare for high value wire payment address requirements

Starting November 2026, you’ll need to include more detailed address information with every wire payment, as part of the ISO 20022 update. This requirement applies across all banks and countries. Take steps now to update your systems and avoid any issues.

 

Key updates

Address Format: After November 2026, you must use a hybrid or structured address for all wire payments you send to us.

 

Required Information: Hybrid or structured address formats require the Town/City and Country details as separate fields for each required address. For high-value wire payments, make sure you provide this information for all relevant parties.

 

What you need to do

Continue to follow your local laws and regulations for payment address information, including anti-money laundering regulations. The guidance in this message covers ISO 20022 changes only and does not replace any local legal or regulatory requirements. For example, certain locations may already require Town/City and Country details in all payment messages or may have additional address requirements.

 

Update your payment systems and/or processes:
Move to hybrid or fully structured address formats before November 2026. Make sure your systems capture and send addresses with separated fields for Town/City and Country for all wire payments.

 

Meet the payment and market mandates that apply to your transactions. Requirements can vary by market and payment type, so review what’s needed for your situation. For a detailed breakdown of these requirements in relation to ISO 20022, please see our requirements page.

FI/NBFI Swift Users?

If you are native MX you should no longer suffer truncation issues. A Swift user that is leveraging contingency translation may still see the impact of truncation.

  • In particular, name and address data may be truncated. Where possible, we’ll provide a + symbol as an indication of where truncation has occurred. Incoming funds may be paid to your account via MX messages, which may include enhanced information that could be truncated or omitted within existing reporting formats. Adopting the ISO-enabled reporting options will help mitigate these impacts.
  • Start developing your implementation plan for camt messages.

Industry guidance

Continue to reference published industry guidance on implementing ISO 20022 for cross-border payments

These guidelines for banks have been developed by CBPR+ to manage potential risks where enhanced data elements are truncated or dropped altogether at some point in the payment chain.

Truncation during Market Infrastructure transaction legs:

The industry guidance may also be applied to a transaction leg settled across a local Market
Infrastructure (i.e., currency clearing systems) that has not yet adopted the ISO 20022 standard.

Market infrastructures

J.P. Morgan is compliant with market infrastructures that have migrated to ISO 20022 and will be compliant for upcoming ISO 20022 migrations in line with clearing market infrastructures timelines.

CHIPS migrated to ISO 20022 on April 2024, and has made provisions to allow ISO-enabled data from CBPR+ messages to be passed between clearing participants from March 20, 2023.

    FED migrated to ISO 20022 on July 14th, 2025.

  1. FED: cut-off times
    The FED is strictly enforcing their cutoff time for 3rd party payments at 6.45 p.m. EST. Payments received after cut-off time will be held for next business day processing.
  2. FED: IRS formatting guidelines
    It is necessary that IRS Tax Payments are formatted according to their specific guidelines. Please refer to IRS Tax payments section of the FED guidelines, including the name and address (access to Swift resources is for registered users only) or recent FED communication.
  3. Changes to Postal Address Data Validation
    In the Federal Reserves November 2025 Newsletter and currently on their website, The Fed confirms the intention to remove fully unstructured Postal address in favor of a single hybrid postal address for all parties and agents across all message types.

TARGET2 and EURO1 migrated to the new standard on March 20, 2023.

ECB announced earlier start times for TARGET2 and EURO1 settlement processing. As of March 20, 2023, both TARGET2 and EURO1 began settlement processing at 02:30 CET, instead of 07:00 CET for TARGET2 and 07:30 CET for EURO1. This means clients may receive inbound clearing credits from 02:30 CET onwards.

Also, TARGET2 will no longer accept unpublished 11-digit BICs within payment messages. This includes 11-digit BICs of valid 8-digit BICs.

  • To ensure payment messages sent to J.P Morgan containing unpublished 11-digit BICs can still be settled through TARGET2, where we’re able to identify such instructions, the associated outbound payment message will be sent using the corresponding 8-digit BIC.
  • Clients who want to continue using unpublished 11-digit BICs within payments settled via TARGET2 should take steps to publish the BICs with Swift.

Effective May 1, 2025, the Bank of England (BoE) has mandated the use of enhanced data fields in CHAPS payment messages.

As of May 1, 2025, CHAPS payments need to include:

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) - for CHAPS payments between financial institutions

Purpose Code (PoP) - for CHAPS payments between financial institutions; only relating to property transactions

J.P. Morgan has updated technology, processes and procedures to meet the requirements of this mandate.

Clients using the ISO 20022 message format are encouraged to incorporate these elements more broadly in their UK payment instructions. Although payments lacking LEI or PoP will not be immediately rejected, BoE reserves the right to change its policy in the future.

The Bank of England have communicated plans to mandate Purpose Code (PoP) for ALL CHAPS payments instructed via JPM access channels (i.e. excluding Swift) from the second half of 2027.  

For more details please visit Bank of England announcement here.

This the link to Bank of England ISO 20022 landing page

The Bank of England has announced earlier start times for CHAPS settlement processing, targeted for September 2027. Settlement will be enabled from 01:30 GMT, under an optional participation model. This means clients may receive inbound clearing credits from 01:30 GMT onwards.

For more details please visit Bank of England announcement here.

Under Canada's Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and related regulations, all Canadian financial institutions including J.P. Morgan must collect complete remitter and beneficiary information for wires sent in SWIFT MT101, pacs.008 and pain .001 formats. To comply, J.P. Morgan requires complete remitter and beneficiary information on all wire payments sent or received through your accounts with us in Canada.

Complete remitter and beneficiary information includes: full account name, full account number, beneficiary bank’s SWIFT BIC (or the bank’s full name and address), and the beneficiary’s full physical address. A full physical address must include: street number or building name, street name, city or town, state or province (mandatory where applicable, e.g., Canada, USA, Australia), and country, preferably in the 2 character ISO format. Note: A P.O. Box is not acceptable without a full physical address. Some Canadian banks may require the Canadian Clearing code to avoid processing delays, and some may require that the beneficiary account number be prefixed by a transit code. Check your payees’ standard settlement instructions to confirm requirements.

Financial institutions may reject or delay your wires if the required information is not provided or if the address information does not include a full physical address. J.P. Morgan will reject wire payments with incomplete remitter or beneficiary information.
