stakeholder benefits
Benefit of convergence with non-card payment instruments through a unique ISO 20022 approach.
Will facilitate the provision of services overcoming the current technical, commercial and legal barriers existing today.
The proposed development will help banks to adopt a single methodology and approach in addressing new and updated messages in the financial arena. Banks are today confronted to various categories of messages based on non-interoperable technologies which hinders a convergence process and lead to higher development and maintenance costs. A timely migration towards a single methodology (e.g. ISO 20022) for all financial data exchanges (credit transfers, card payments, securities, treasury management, cheques, etc.) will lead to a progressive reduction and simplification of global and certification costs. It will enable banks and their customers to rely more and more on "off-the-shelves" harmonised software solutions.
Extension of the scope of today’s national schemes by giving the opportunity to extend their offer beyond today’s domestic boundaries.
Reduced time-to-market in the provision of card payment services.
Acceptors are Processors or Payment Service Providers (PSP) customers involved in a card acceptance contract for the acquisition of POI card payment transactions. The existence of country-based incompatible standards hinders the central acquisition of cross-border card payment transactions by multinational acceptors and, hence, the development of business. A common standard will provide tremendous incentives and opportunities for the development of central POI card transactions acquiring activities. As far as Europe is concerned, such a standard would meet the European legislators' objectives to achieve a single payments area in Europe. This standard will provide additional cost-savings for activities associated to loyalty and e-billing when related to commercial data associated to a card payment.
