A New Messaging Standard for UK Payments: ISO 20022

Bank of England

“Payments data in the UK is changing.  The UK payments industry is moving to ISO 20022, the emerging global standard for payments messaging. This standard creates a common language for payments data across the globe. This change includes our sterling high value payment system CHAPS, which will migrate to ISO 20022 messaging on 19 June 2023. Better data in payments promises to deliver significant long-term benefits for the economy. To adapt to the new messaging standard and accompanying data requirements, your organisation might have to make process and technology changes.”
