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.

J.P. Morgan Access®
We’re updating Access to help you stay ahead of new payment requirements.
Get ready for enhancements that will allow you to capture Town/City and Country details for high-value wire payments in structured or hybrid address formats. These fields will not be mandatory until the third quarter of 2026 (for ISO 20022 payment messages only and subject to applicable local law). Please continue to follow all current local laws and regulations for payment and beneficiary address information as required by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC ) which requires full complete address that includes street number, street name, city, province or state, postal code or zip code, and country code.
Review upcoming changes to Access, including updates to free-form and high-value wire templates, as well as CSV file uploads.
Look out for in-platform notifications as enhancements become available.
