✨ ISO 20022 Goes Live for Cross-Border Payments

As of 22 November 2025, ISO 20022 is officially the global standard for cross-border payment instructions. This marks a major milestone after years of collaboration across the global financial ecosystem.

📊 Adoption is already impressive: 97% of payment instructions are now sent using ISO 20022.

What this unlocks 👇

✅ Faster and more efficient payments with richer data

✅ Higher automation and lower operational friction

✅ Better insights and improved customer experience

✅ A future-ready, globally aligned payment infrastructure

SWIFT has played a key role in building this foundation and will continue supporting the transition toward instant, interoperable, and inclusive global payments.
