At EBAday 2024, Wim Grosemans, Global Head of Product Management Payments and Receivables, BNP Paribas, sets the scene around how the commercial payments market is evolving.

A staggering amount of digitisation is also incoming, which will result in digital payments soaring and with this, an ecommerce boom for B2C customers and B2B customers.

At EBAday 2024, Renata Vilanova Lobo, Head of Global Clearing, J.P. Morgan Payments, explores the cross-border impact of SEPA on European and global interoperability and why ISO 20022 is crucial for financial institutions.

The road to compliance

At EBAday 2024, Paul Thomalla, Non Executive Director, Unifits, discusses ISO 20022 and the decades-long journey to reach adoption and implementation. The payments sector is a complex world and with ISO 20022 and other mandates emerging, there is an unavoidable tsunami of change constantly hitting banks. As a result, being and remaining compliant is no easy feat and in order to remedy these issues, ISO 20022 must be considered a business-led tool and testing should occur by employees that understand how technology processes should be operating as well as the business nuances of what the rules have set out. But while testing is of course important, getting compliant and staying evergreen is key.

What to include on your Payments Blueprint for Success

At EBAday 2024, Sulabh Agarwal, Global Payments Lead, Accenture, discusses how banks are approaching payments transformation and why the traditional model may not work with the number of initiatives coming to the fore soon. With regulatory initiatives like SEPA Inst, ISO 20022 and a long list of others that include the EPI and digital Euro, financial institutions must remain focused and consolidate new products that are yet to be launched, ensure they are competing against newcomers and justifying the investments that they make. Traditionally, change has emerged incrementally, but now long-term thinking must be prioritised, instead of opening the hood and fixing issues here and there, and technology such as Generative AI must be considered.

2025 - 2030: Predictions for Real-Time Payments, ISO20022 and APIs

At EBAday 2024, Akshat Saharia, Head of European Financial Institutions Product and Propositions, Global Payments Solutions, HSBC discusses the biggest changes to occur across the cross-border payments landscape in the next five years. While 90% of cross-border transactions complete in 30 mins, the other 10% can be delayed, resulting in frustration and a lack of transparency. Robust change will be seen with real-time payment schemes opening up for cross-border payments. In turn, with ISO20022 being mandated from November 2025, banks in the world will be operating with enhanced data, standardised information and LEIs which will significantly enhance STP and reduce costs. Digital transformation through the use of APIs will also bolster end-to-end connectivity, paving the way for value-added services offering increased transparency and verification with Confirmation of Payee.
