At Sibos 2025, Fineksus will showcase how evolving standards in financial messaging are shaping the future of global payments. Serkan Arslan, CAMS, MBA, Sales and Business Development Director at Fineksus, will discuss the latest CBPR+ updates and the implications of the upcoming ISO 20022 address mandate, a milestone requiring structured remittance and party data across all transactions.   Institutions face a crucial decision: continue with a hybrid ISO 20022 structure or move toward full structured adoption. While hybrid may provide interim flexibility, full adoption is the only way to unlock the benefits of richer data, stronger compliance, and automation efficiency.   The next challenge after the November 2025 CBPR+ changes will be ensuring readiness for these mandates, particularly integrating structured address data into legacy systems without service disruption. Fineksus, as a long-time Swift partner and part of the cleversoft group, is uniquely positioned to help. ➡️ If your systems are not yet fully ready, we provide tailored, ISO 20022-compliant solutions that ensure a smooth transition, safeguard compliance, and deliver future-proof interoperability   Meet Serkan and our team at Booth H057 to explore how Fineksus, as part of cleversoft group, delivers end-to-end payments innovation.

The future of payments will be shaped by speed, resilience, and reliability – yet many institutions are still working to overcome legacy challenges on their journey to a digital-first world. With so much change underway, what will the landscape look like by 2030? This is the focus of a new @Finextra Research report, produced in association with @ACI Worldwide, capturing insights from 160+ global industry leaders. In the report, I share my perspective on the strong growth of instant payments in APAC, the digitisation agenda in MEA, and the opportunities and challenges for cross-border instant payments. Looking forward to continuing the conversation at #Sibos in Frankfurt.
