They discuss why the rules can affect organizations even when they do not originate ISO 20022 files, how incomplete payment inventories and address data can cause rejections, and why treasury, AP, IT, banks, and service providers must coordinate to validate payment workflows and data readiness.

As a result, portions of the presentation reference the original implementation timeline and may not reflect the most current deadlines.
While the timing has changed, the underlying concepts, requirements, considerations, and preparation strategies discussed in this webinar remain relevant for organizations preparing for the transition to ISO 20022.
