Are you involved in payments operations, product management, compliance, or payments transformation and want to better understand ISO 20022 beyond the technical layer?  

This customizable training provides a clear, practical and business-focused understanding of ISO 20022, its objectives, benefits, and real operational impact across the entire payments lifecycle. Participants gain insight into ISO20022 structure, benefits, and how it improves efficiency, transparency, straight-through processing, while supporting compliance and regulatory requirements. 

This CBPR+ inspired training uses concrete cross-border payment scenarios to illustrate ISO 20022 in practice. Key payment messages such as pacs.008, pacs.002, pacs.004, pacs.009, and others are showcased to explain their purpose, usage, and role in end-to-end payment flows, including serial and cover payments, as well as rejection and return scenarios amongst others. 

Practical questions and real-life operational problems are discussed and solved, allowing participants to directly apply concepts in their daily work. The course also introduces testing concepts and approaches, helping participants understand how ISO 20022 messages are validated, tested, and prepared for production environments. 

In addition, the training addresses migration considerations and timelines, business readiness, and what ISO 20022 adoption means beyond initial go-live. Participants leave with the confidence to actively contribute to ISO 20022-related discussions, initiatives, and decision-making from a business and operational perspective.
