CHALLENGES

Overcoming your greatest challenges can be tough; we’ve got you covered

Inconsistent Market Practices Across Regions
Inconsistent Market Practices Across Regions

The global adoption of ISO 20022 can lead to inconsistent practices across regions. Organisations often face challenges in ensuring operational consistency as different market implementations increase the complexity of managing cross-border transactions.

Legacy Systems Incompatibility

Legacy financial systems struggle to support the new message formats introduced by ISO 20022. This makes integration difficult, adding cost and operational challenges for organisations looking to modernise their transaction processing infrastructure.

Managing Multiple Syntaxes and Versions
Managing Multiple Syntaxes and Versions

The simultaneous use of multiple ISO 20022 standard versions and syntaxes creates interoperability issues. Organisations often struggle to manage evolving message formats, risking operational inefficiencies and communication breakdowns between different markets.

Customisation Requirements for Specific Markets

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your solution extract structured data from SWIFT MT and ISO20022 MX messages?

Our platform connects and efficiently parses unstructured SWIFT MT messages, extracting key details and converting them into structured data for seamless processing. It is designed to extract and process structured data from ISO20022 MX messages, ensuring smooth data handling and integration.

How does your system map MT messages to ISO 20022 PACS formats?

We define transformation logic that accurately maps MT fields to their corresponding PACS elements, ensuring a smooth transition to ISO 20022.Below are some samples:

  1. MT103 → PACS.008 (Customer Credit Transfer)
  2. MT202 → PACS.009 (Financial Institution Credit Transfer)
  3. MT202COV → PACS.009COV (Cover Payment)

AI scans messages for missing or inconsistent data and enriches them using predefined business rules, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Our solution validates converted messages against SWIFT and ISO 20022 schemas to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance.

How does AI enhance the automation of MT to MX format conversion?

AI and machine learning (ML) improve efficiency by learning patterns, detecting anomalies, enriching data, and predicting missing fields—reducing manual effort and enhancing compliance. Our ML models use supervised learning and pattern recognition to automatically map MT fields to the correct MX structure based on historical data. AI analyzes historical data and transaction patterns to flag unusual amounts, incorrect IBANs, or unexpected behaviors, preventing fraud and errors. AI normalizes data formats, correcting dates, amounts, and currency codes to comply with ISO 20022 standards.

How does Natural Language Processing (NLP) improve the extraction of structured data from free-text fields? How do you ensure accuracy of converted data?

NLP scans free-text fields (like: 70:, :72:, and :59:) to extract key details such as payment references, beneficiary details, and transaction purposes, reducing manual errors. NLP identifies suspicious keywords in payment notes and flags transactions for compliance review.
