On the Wire

August 2023: On the Wire - ISO® 20022 Newsletter

Updated ISO® 20022 Format Specification Documents Coming in Late August

We are on track to provide, in late August, updated usage guidelines that will reflect changes related to the structuring of postal address information of parties and entities in ISO 20022 messages as redefined by the global Payments Market Practice Group. These changes are expected to become a requirement in the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures’ harmonized ISO 20022 data model to increase the efficiency and transparency of cross-border payments. All changes will be documented in the Fedwire® Funds Service ISO 20022 Implementation Guide.

Additionally, two more ISO 20022 messages, i.e., Investigation Request (camt.110) and Investigation Response (camt.111) have been added to the Fedwire Funds Service ISO 20022 message portfolio to allow customers to communicate with each other on exceptions, investigations, and amendments about wires sent over the Fedwire Funds Service. Usage guidelines for these messages will be posted on the Fedwire Funds Service page on the MyStandards® platform provided by SWIFT® along with the Fedwire Funds Service ISO 20022 Technical Guide (includes message envelope details, error codes, etc.).
