The Big Story
The implementation of the new ISO 20022 payment messaging will be delayed by the Federal Reserve by two years to 2025. The announcement of the revised deadline came in response to bank concerns that it was prioritising the introduction of the new messaging format to the detriment of the rollout of the FedNow real-time transfer network, which is also set to debut in November 2003.

Be on the lookout for
Rise in APP fraud. The latest UK Finance report found that more than £580mn was lost in 2021 to authorised push payment (APP) fraud, a 40% increase since 2020, as criminals continue efforts to exploit the pandemic. David-Jan Janse, CEO & Co-Founder of SurePay, a company providing Confirmation of Payee service in the UK, commented: “Fraudsters are restless in finding new ways of tricking people out of their money and the solutions they are deploying are becoming increasingly sophisticated. The worst part is that they’re targeting the most vulnerable – either new entrants in the digital payments space or the large pockets of the financial services sector still left without appropriate processes and technologies to prevent fraud.”
