Standards
MX , ISO 20022 compliant messages
SWIFT supports the co-existence of the two main industry
standards MT and MX.
As stated, MT messages are the commonly used standard
message today for HVPS.
MX Messages have been created by SWIFT as a set of
standards
Covering payment initiation, inter-bank settlement and cash
management
ISO20022 compliant catering for high and low-value, single and
multiple, and urgent and non-urgent payments.

Standards
MX/XML in the context of an RTGS
The two key categories of SWIFT MX messages to be used within
the context of an RTGS willing to use ISO 20022 are :
Payments Clearing & Settlement PACS messages, which are
ISO20022 approved
Cash Management CAMT messages which are ISO 20022 approved
An industry group CGI(Common Global Implementation) is in the process of finalizing
usage rules.

Harmonisation analysis

Analysis showing where harmonisation makes sense, by reducing the number of messages to
gain efficiency (business processes) and save costs (less to implement).

High level mapping analysis

Mapping proprietary fields to ISO 20022 elements; flagging

ISO mandatory elements (including cross-rules); providing
advice on way forward to close gaps (harmonisation,
mapping to free text, use of extensions, etc)
