ISO 20022 Payments for Corporate Treasury

ISO 20022 is changing how payment information is structured and exchanged between companies and banks.

For treasury teams, this affects payment files, bank connectivity, reconciliation processes and the overall quality of payment data. Many banks are already migrating to ISO 20022 messaging, and treasury teams need to understand what this means for their systems and daily operations.

This course explains ISO 20022 in simple, practical terms from a corporate treasury perspective.

You will see how traditional SWIFT MT messages compare with ISO 20022 XML messages, and why banks are moving to structured payment data. The course also highlights how this change affects treasury management systems, payment hubs and bank reporting.

The focus of this course is not theory. It is about understanding the operational impact on treasury teams and the areas that may require review when banks migrate to ISO 20022.

By the end of the course you will have a clear understanding of how ISO 20022 affects corporate payments, treasury systems and payment data structures.

The course also includes a set of practical templates that treasury teams can use, including an ISO 20022 payment testing template, a migration checklist, structured address examples and a static data governance template.

This course is suitable for treasury professionals, treasury operations teams and finance professionals who want a clear explanation of ISO 20022 and its practical impact on corporate treasury.
