ISO 20022

ISO 20022 is a global financial messaging standard that streamlines payments by using a single, standardised format.

All customers who submit payments using bulk files need to make changes to the format of these files.

The November 2026 deadline for moving to the new ISO 20022 file formats and address requirements has been postponed. You can continue using your existing file format and unstructured address for now, but you should continue preparing for the move to the new ISO 20022 format. We will tell you when a new deadline is confirmed.
