Presentation from Women in Payments Symposium.
Banks are architecting their internal systems around ISO 20022. Multinationals are requesting ISO 20022 as part of their RFP process. Even countries are building new payment market infrastructures on ISO 20022. But ISO 20022 isn’t exclusive to just large players. Businesses and banks of all sizes can realize the benefits. Learn what is ISO 20022, and why is it being adopted around the globe. This session will provide practical insights to take back to your organizations.

20. BANKER’S PERSPECTIVE
• ISO allows for standardization in payments
• International capabilities / standardization
– domestic vs international
– XML ease of use (readable)
• Fit processing module (seamless, with the array of formats we currently support)
• Improve STP and efficiency
• Comprehensive Payable opportunities (less proprietary formats to support)
• BNY Mellon has the personnel with expertise to support it XML
• Preparation for the future, based on ISO in and ISO out – Leveraging the format both government and
business remittance detail
• Provides incremental value to our customers both domestic and international
• ISO 20022 allows for the inclusion and reporting of all parties to the transaction and significantly greater
transaction detail
The Pros
WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS WITH ISO 20022? 20
21. BANKER’S PERSPECTIVE
• Multiple hours of prep work to understand the concept of ISO and the schema layouts, how they are
broken out.
– Newness of the ISO XML format in the US
• Although it is a standard, the tendency of various banks may use fields in various ways
• Internal controls (approval to implement a new format)
• Processing procedures and training with rolling out a new format
• Level of information that can be provided in many cases is much more than the payment applications
can handle, NACHA, MT103 etc.
The Cons
WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS WITH ISO 20022? 21
23. CORPORATE CASE STUDY
• Multinational Corporate had a need to centralize payments for all their entities around the world
• Goal to have a global standard for all countries for payment processing
– ISO 20022 (XML) allowed for them to eliminate country specific file formats and focus on a global
standard
– ISO allowed for all payment types (ACH, Check, FX, USD wires, etc.) to be sent as a comprehensive
payables file and eliminate multiple file sends
• BNY Mellon worked with this client to provide implementation details for the PAIN schema
• ISO format had to be designed and built on their platform
• New connectivity had to be set-up between the corporate and BNY Mellon
The Objective and Approach
