ISO 20022

ISO 20022 is an international standard that regulates the digital transfer of financial information between financial institutions. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 20022 improves the interoperability and efficiency of banking and financial transactions by providing a consistent and adaptable approach to financial messaging.[1]

Overview

ISO 20022 is an international standard that provides a uniform framework for electronic data interchange between financial institutions. Originally created for traditional finance, ISO 20022 is now being used in applications.

ISO 20022 offers applications for financial institutions such as banks, companies and brokerage firms by promoting direct communication between different departments and organizations. This reduces the cost of maintaining different communication networks. In addition, ISO 20022 is compatible with current protocols, enabling various financial operations.

The primary goal of ISO 20022 is to provide an international standard to replace the variety of message formats and protocols used by different financial systems. By implementing ISO 20022, financial organizations can increase accuracy and security of data transmission and simplify operations. [1][2]
