Leveraging Payment Modernization Opportunities in Banking

ISO 20022 and instant payments are accelerating payments modernization and serving as a catalyst for bank growth and innovation

With deadlines to implement the ISO 20022 mandate approaching, the evolving payments environment presents significant near-term strategic, technological and operational challenges for banks. But transforming the payments infrastructure is far more than just a necessary step to meet regulatory compliance mandates; it is a key enabler of scalable growth and innovation. As banks near compliance with the mandate, they are looking forward for opportunities to leverage their modern payments ecosystem as a springboard to deliver a better payments experience, value-added services for their corporate customers, and new commercialization opportunities for their own business.
