New language of payments event

The new language of payments

Cross-border payments will increase from c$150 trillion in 2017 to over c$250 trillion by 2027. The tech services that facilitate these transactions between banks are run by SWIFT.

SWIFT is boringly reliable (the way we need it), but important events are forcing the shy and exceptionally talented SWIFT architects, engineers and practitioners into the spotlight.  In this session we discuss all things payments, including the global migrations to the new ISO 20022 messaging standard. This touches everyone and every business globally.

The event will be moderated by the Finance and FinTech Special Interest Group Chair, Yvonne de Ville.
