BERLIN, DE – 14/12/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – With the global financial system entering a new era of standardized payment messaging, corporate treasury teams are reassessing how prepared their infrastructures are for long-term compliance and operational resilience. Following the November 2025 ISO 20022 milestone, Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS) is positioning organizations to navigate the transition with greater certainty by offering specialized translation and data-adaptation services through its cloud-based platform.
The industry-wide shift marks a fundamental change in how cross-border payment information is exchanged. Under new SWIFT requirements, banks are now mandated to use ISO 20022 for international transactions, introducing more granular, structured data into payment messages. For corporate treasuries, this has already resulted in noticeable differences in the way banks send, interpret, and process payment information—making system readiness and data quality critical priorities.
ISO 20022 replaces a fragmented landscape of legacy messaging standards with a single, globally harmonized framework. By standardizing how payment data is structured, the format aims to minimize ambiguity across markets, enhance transparency, and support increasingly stringent regulatory expectations worldwide.
However, the path to ISO 20022 adoption is rarely straightforward. Many enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and payment infrastructures were designed before structured data became a requirement, creating challenges that extend beyond simple format changes. Successful migration often demands careful planning, internal coordination, and tools capable of bridging the gap between legacy environments and modern banking requirements.
According to Wouter De Bie, Chief Technology Officer at TIS, the goal is to ensure that compliance does not come at the expense of business continuity. He noted that TIS enables treasury teams to translate existing payment files into bank-specific formats while automatically enriching messages with ISO-mandated data elements. This flexibility allows organizations to modernize incrementally, reducing operational risk and avoiding costly system replacements or reactive fixes.
The TIS platform draws on a library of more than 140,000 bank-specific profiles to support a wide range of ISO-compliant formats worldwide. Complementing this coverage, an AI-driven capability helps address complex ISO requirements, such as the use of structured address data for corporate beneficiaries. Companies that proactively update their master data and payment workflows are expected to face fewer disruptions as unstructured formats are gradually retired. Those that delay risk encountering issues such as payment rejections, truncated messages, and slower processing cycles.
Jon Paquette, Chief of Strategy at TIS, emphasized that early adoption is already delivering measurable results. Organizations using the platform have implemented bank-led ISO changes without payment failures or extensive rework, while also using statement format conversion tools to maintain smooth reconciliation and cash application processes as MT messages are phased out in favor of CAMT. He added that these experiences demonstrate how the right technology can allow companies to adopt ISO 20022 on their own timelines while maintaining operational stability.
