The Mission

NextGen ISO20022 - CBPR+ and OMIS

NextGen Global Messaging Standards is the program that facilitates the move to the new ISO XML message exchange standard.

In March 2023, SWIFT began migrating all cross-border and many-to-many payments onto ISO20022. This decision comes after large scale community consultation that took in feedback from a wide variety of stakeholders. The start date of this migration in 2023 is aligned with the adoption of ISO20022 of the Eurozone’s high value payments systems (T2 Consolidation).

The migration will start with an incremental switch that allows for a hybrid approach between 2023 and 2025. During this time, banks from all over the world will be able to communicate via SWIFT in both standards
