The participating teams are encouraged to adapt their existing products to make use of ISO 20022 or build and demonstrate new solutions leveraging ISO 20022 and APIs.  

After all, the era of API-enabled data-rich payment has started hitting the doors! To usher in a new world of possibility for cross-border and domestic payments, payment systems, service providers, global networks, and forward-thinking corporates are required to adopt the ISO 20022 messaging standards. ECS Fin has been offering such solutions to banks and corporates since 2014.
