Payment transactions are being switched to the ISO 20022 XML format. But what does that mean? What are the requirements behind the switch, and what are the objectives? In this first episode of our podcast series, we get to the bottom of these questions:

• Why is the payment system being changed?
• When will the payment system be switched over?
• What implications does this have for your business?

To this end, we are speaking to two experts: Mario Reichel from PPI AG and Norbert Hambloch from GEVA Group AG. Both are well versed in the world of payments and, drawing on their wealth of experience, are able to outline the evolution of payment transactions – from the days of sending floppy discs right up to the present day – in a passionate and entertaining manner.

This is just the start of a series of exciting episodes on the topic of the transition to a new payment system!
