Banks discuss swift move to new system
Indian banks are in talks with the international financing messaging system SWIFT on migrating to the new instant and real-time gross settlement system under ISO 20022, effective from November 25. So far, only four Indian banks have partially transitioned to the new system, said two bank executives aware of the deliberations.
“The matter was discussed at a meeting last month, and it was decided to discuss the issue with officials from SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) for a smooth transition and, if possible, an extension of the deadline,” said one of the executives, who did not wish to be identified.
SWIFT has also suggested expediting the process of migration to the new mechanism, according to the executive.
ISO 20022 is an open global standard for financial information. SWIFT plans to impose penalties on banks still using the old set-up after the global deadline of November 25 ends.
“Banks may seek government intervention, if needed. This is not limited to a few banks but the whole banking set-up. We are hopeful that there will be some resolution in case all banks find it difficult to switch over to the new mechanism,” another executive said on condition of anonymity.
