"The benefits available to businesses via ISO 20022 are too vast to ignore, and the sooner you switch the sooner you can start reaping the rewards. Many of the benefits inherent in ISO 20022 are the principals that AccessPay is built on – like greater efficiency and more automation – so our platform is already 100% configured to run with ISO 20022 and you won’t have any transition troubles to contend with."
Preparing for ISO 20022
ISO 20022 is the new global standard helping financial institutions, and the businesses they transact with, securely and efficiently exchange information.
Is your organisation ready to transition in 2024?
Improved analytics, less manual intervention
With 740 different messages within ISO 20022, ranging from fee collection to file management, global finance is entering an era of information abundance. With more data and more uniformity, ISO 20022 is a series of welcome and timely improvements for any finance or treasury professional who deals with payments:
Data quality & richness
Financial messages will now use structured data – for better accuracy and completeness, and fewer errors, exceptions, or manual interventions.
Able to carry more information, ISO 20022 messages will enable better reconciliation, auditing, and reporting.
Standardisation & collaboration
You’ll communicate worldwide using the same language, whatever the shape, size, or sector.
Close working between your finance and tech teams during implementations will mean smooth transition and effective ongoing support.
Technological compatibility
Seamless compatibility with APIs and cloud-based solutions means more automation, better visibility, and more robust integration of financial systems.
Regulatory compliance
Adhering to ISO 20022 will make regulation and compliance easier to follow, many governing bodies are already adopting it as their standard and expecting it from their member organisations.
