Getting Banks and Fintech ISO 20022-Ready
March 10, 2025, is a pivotal date for every bank in the United States, marking the planned transition of FedWire to the ISO 20022 messaging standard. This significant change will impact all banks utilizing FedWire, as current systems will become obsolete post-deadline. Financial institutions must act swiftly to ensure they are prepared, as inaction will result in the inability to send or receive wire transfers.
ISO 20022, a universal messaging standard for financial transactions will improve operational efficiency and customer experience by providing more detailed and structured data. Considering the overall momentum for the transition to ISO20022, by 2025, ISO 20022 is expected to be the global standard for high-value payment systems, supporting 80% of transaction volumes and 87% of transaction values.
What steps can financial institutions take to prepare for this shift?
ISO Readiness Validation: Review their payment ecosystem, Test, validate, and ensure ISO 20022 readiness for aggressive compliance deadlines. Complacency is not an option.
Mitigating Risks: For those facing roadblocks, explore available options to ensure readiness sooner to meet the March 2025 deadline.
