There seems to be such an ever-growing amount of regulatory change and industry initiatives in payments now that it can be difficult to keep up. Examples include Open Banking, Confirmation of Payee, Request to Pay, RTGS replacement, New Payments Architecture and the ISO20022 message standard. Every week there seems to be more information coming out from the regulators and the payment schemes in the financial press. The timelines are confusing and seem to keep changing. The next few years will bring about fundamental change in the way payments operate in the UK. Being able to have a team of people dedicated to following every update and reading every regulatory publication is a luxury only the largest financial institutions can afford.
How can small and mid-tier financial institutions work out what is important and see the wood from the trees? Regardless of size, all financial institutions need to conform to payments regulations or risk their very existence. However, when your organisation does not have dedicated payments industry expertise, how do you address what we see as the three main challenges - identifying the relevant parts of the regulations, understanding the changes and timelines and finally assessing the impact on the organisation?
Adopting a structured approach is the key to success.
With regard to specifically addressing the challenges of ISO20022, Org is holding a webinar on 18 March at 8am. If you would like to join the event click here to register.
Org is spearheading an initiative to provide small and mid-tier financial institutions ongoing access to payments expertise through a ?Virtual Inhouse Payments Team? service. If you would like to find out more, please contact nmccaw@thisisorg.io or mcowlin@thisisorg.com
