ISO 20022 is an international standard for the exchange of electronic messages in the financial sector. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to facilitate communication between financial institutions, improving efficiency, security, and interoperability in electronic transactions.
Key features of ISO 20022:
Common language
Uses a format based on XML (Extensible Markup Language), allowing different systems to communicate in a standardized way.
Scope
Covers various types of transactions, including:
Payments (such as bank transfers and check clearing)
Securities (stock market operations and investments)
Currency exchange
Credit/debit cards
Flexibility
Replacement of old standards
Advantages of ISO 20022:
Greater data richness
Allows for the inclusion of more information in transactions, such as payment purpose and details of the sender/beneficiary.
Error reduction
Standardization decreases inconsistencies and failures in communication.
Better regulatory compliance
Facilitates compliance with regulations such as **PSD2 (Europe), Open Banking, and AML (Anti-Money Laundering).
Operational efficiency
Reduces costs associated with manual processing and data reconciliation.
Who uses ISO 20022?
-Central banks (such as BCB in Brazil and ECB in Europe)
Payment systems (e.g., SPB in Brazil, SEPA in Europe, Fedwire in the USA)
Conclusion
ISO 20022 represents the future of global financial communications, promoting greater transparency, automation, and interoperability among systems. Its growing adoption is expected to transform the way transactions are processed worldwide.
XRP (Ripple) and XLM (Stellar) are cryptocurrencies aimed at conforming to the ISO 20022 standard. Compliance with this standard may facilitate the integration of these cryptocurrencies with traditional financial systems, especially for cross-border payments.
