Bridging Compliance and Innovation: FATF Recommendation 16 and the Role of ISO 20022

As global regulations tighten around financial transparency, FATF Recommendation 16—the “Travel Rule”—requires that key originator and beneficiary information travels with payments. This session explores how the ISO 20022 messaging standard provides a powerful foundation to meet these compliance demands while enhancing data quality, screening, and risk management. Industry leaders will unpack how ISO 20022’s structured data supports effective Travel Rule implementation, share lessons from early adopters, and discuss the balance between regulatory compliance and customer experience. Discover how harmonising technical standards across the industry can lead to a more secure and efficient financial system.

Do Central Banks see the full picture? Aligning Domestic Ambitions with Global ISO 20022 Interoperability

As central banks and PMIs globally seek to optimise the benefits of ISO 20022, this session reflects on the progress to date. This opening session will look backwards and recap on what we have learned so far. We’ll explore wins, key roadblocks, and practical steps that the industry can take to move from migration to transformation. Let’s explore how to enable ISO 20022 to meet central banks’ domestic policy objectives with the global need for cross-border interoperability. This session will build on the foundations set in previous sessions, focusing on the crossroads between policy-driven customisation and global interoperability. Central banks play a critical role in shaping ISO 20022’s future value. As domestic payments systems modernise, ISO 20022 is a tool to meet emerging threats and opportunities. However, up to half of domestic traffic intersect with cross-border flows—turning interoperability into an operational necessity. At the same time, multi-market financial institutions are managing the alignment between different domestic changes, timelines, and cross-border flows. In this session, industry leaders will examine the downstream impacts of divergence and how a more holistic, collaborative approach with more visibility could enhance the collective value of ISO 20022.

One Standard, Many Implementation Approaches – What can Securities learn from Payments ?

As the securities industry begins to navigate its ISO 20022 journey, now is the moment to reflect on the payments sector’s experience—what worked, what didn’t, and what can be improved. While both industries share the same vision of enhanced data, efficiency, and interoperability, the rationale for adoption is different and the securities market is not mandating a move. This final session in the series shifts from policy and design to execution and cross-industry learning, asking: what hard-won lessons can be passed on to securities? What does successful change management look like in practice, and where did missteps occur? Can we define a common path forward, or is fragmentation inevitable? Together, we’ll connect the dots between strategy, execution, and impact, ensuring ISO 20022 delivers not just across sectors, but for the entire financial ecosystem.
