Standards working towards better payments

“Those standards were built in a mixed-rate world, just counting mixed-rate payments. Payments have evolved, but the standards we used to know have reached the limit where they are creaking at the seams, and they’re all different and don’t interact with each other. And so, we’ve got to move to more modern standards to provide that.” Gary Munro / Consult Hyperion

Ghela Boskovich, Regional Director/Head of Europe at Financial Data and Technology Association, hosted in the latest episode of the Voice of mpe experts from the fintech and payment industry, talking about standards working towards better payments. Learn more about how ISO 20022 shapes the future of payment messaging and what the new Visa requirements mean for merchants.
