ISO 20022 SWIFT CBPR+ Solutions for Banks
Payment Labs provides ISO 20022 and SWIFT CBPR+ solutions for banks, financial institutions, PSPs, and fintechs modernising cross-border payments infrastructure. Our platform supports MX message validation, MT to MX migration, structured payments data analysis, CAMT reporting, fraud detection, sanctions screening enhancement, and ISO 20022 migration readiness.
Beyond regulatory compliance, ISO 20022 enables richer structured data, improved straight-through processing, enhanced reconciliation, better payment transparency, and AI-driven operational intelligence across the payments lifecycle.
ISO 20022 Migration Challenges for Financial Institutions
Financial institutions migrating to ISO 20022 face significant operational and technical challenges across cross-border payments infrastructure. Legacy MT-based systems often lack support for rich structured data, creating risks around truncation, interoperability, reconciliation, and compliance validation.
Banks and PSPs must modernise payment workflows to support MX messages, CBPR+ usage guidelines, structured address requirements, enhanced sanctions screening, and end-to-end data quality controls. Migration also requires extensive testing across counterparties, payment networks, and internal systems to ensure operational readiness.
Legacy MT Messages vs ISO 20022 MX Messages
Why Structured ISO 20022 Data Matters
ISO 20022 introduces richer and more granular payment data compared to legacy MT formats. Structured data improves straight-through processing, reconciliation accuracy, sanctions screening effectiveness, fraud detection, and payment transparency across the transaction lifecycle.
Financial institutions can also leverage ISO 20022 data for advanced analytics, operational intelligence, AI-driven monitoring, and improved customer experiences across domestic and cross-border payment environments.

ISO 20022 Structured Data - The Core of Intelligent Payments
Enrich every ISO 20022 payment message with the structured elements that deliver maximum compliance, efficiency, and business value:
​
-
Structured Addresses — Improve sanctions screening accuracy and reduce false positives
-
Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) — Achieve global clarity in party and counterparty identification
-
Payment Purpose Codes (SPPC) — Simplify regulatory reporting and unlock transaction-level analytics
-
Structured Remittance Information (SRI) — Accelerate reconciliation and reduce disputes
When combined with open finance consent-based datasets, these elements go beyond compliance — powering new revenue streams, deeper client insights, and embedded finance experiences that build long-term advantage.
Transform compliance data into actionable business intelligence that drives competitive edge:
​
-
Real-Time KPI Monitoring — Track operational performance, STP rates, and compliance metrics instantly
-
AI-Powered Anomaly Detection — Identify fraud risks, unusual patterns, and compliance breaches before they escalate
-
FX Margin Optimisation & Liquidity Forecasting — Use structured data to refine pricing, manage liquidity, and capture new profit opportunities
​
When ISO 20022 structured data is integrated with open finance APIs, these capabilities expand into 360° customer intelligence — delivering a unified view of behaviour, risk, and opportunity across accounts, payment channels, and non-bank financial products.
