Beneficiary and Address Book updates for SWIFT & ISO 20022

International Payments are changing 

Changes are being introduced to enhance data quality and facilitate compliance with global regulatory and screening requirements for international and RTGS payments. As a result, beneficiaries and parties used for international and RTGS Payments may require additional information to be provided to ensure they can continue to be used beyond November 2026 when global payments regulatory requirements will take effect.
