CPMI's harmonised ISO 20022 requirements define a minimum set of data for cross-border payments end to end. They address fragmented message usage so information remains complete and consistently interpretable as a transaction passes between payment providers and infrastructures.
TL;DR:
- CPMI harmonises minimum ISO 20022 data requirements for cross-border payments end to end.
- Consistent information helps providers preserve meaning as payments cross systems and jurisdictions.
- The requirements complement message standards rather than operating a settlement network.
Summary
Purpose and Scope
CPMI's harmonised ISO 20022 requirements define a minimum set of data for cross-border payments end to end. They address fragmented message usage so information remains complete and consistently interpretable as a transaction passes between payment providers and infrastructures.
Purpose and Coverage
Cross-border payments can carry inconsistent information even when participants use the same message standard. CPMI’s harmonisation work addresses fragmented usage by defining a common minimum set of data requirements.
Implementation Context
Providers and payment infrastructures need aligned message-usage choices as well as compatible syntax. The requirements support consistent treatment of transaction information across jurisdictions and systems while building on ISO 20022.
Version and Practical Limits
The BIS publication page provides the updated CPMI report and should be used to identify the applicable release and supporting material. Implementation requires mapping the requirements into the relevant payment messages and local arrangements.
