Transactions Revolutionised

Solving the global demand for real-time payments in 2024 and beyond.
We provide technology and services to make compliance and digital transformation easier.

REGULATIONS ARE CHANGING

  • Global Regulators and Central Banks are introducing Real-Time Payments (ISO20022) To increase participation, resilience and to reduce financial crime.
  • Right now over 60 countries are implementing these new regulations, with over 25,000 banking and more than 60,000 regulated organisations and entities will be impacted.
  • Switzerland, the UK, EU, US and Singapore and SWIFT Nations have already committed to full ISO20022 implementation by 2024.
  • These new regulations are transforming Operation Resilience requirements, and organisations are already preparing for Full Cloud Migration to improve Agility, Security and Resilience.
  • New Cyber Security threats like Ransom and Malware are threatening non-cloud enabled legacy platforms.
  • Existing vendors are limited to adapting legacy business models, and aren't focused on addressing the new regulations.
  • Significant reworks, and even outright replacements, are required for payments systems and all operations related to that in every competitive banking organisation.

THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN.

A new ISO 20022 Real Time Payments structure is coming.

ISO 20022 Will Impact Systems and Processes across all FinTech and Finance Organisations.

ISO 20022 New Payments Architecture is a necessary improvement to existing payment architectures, however it requires the implementation of a suite of new requirements that older architecture can't  often support.
This means payment systems and previous infrastructure may need to be re-oriented towards ISO compliant models, and without guidance this can be a serious and costly challenge.

Ultim8's guidance can help you retain your previous framework, whilst adapting to new ISO standards, allowing your organisation to work as it always has, while evolving to meet new regulations.
