Federal Reserve Financial Services Completes ISO? 20022 Migration for Fedwire? Funds Service, Advancing U.S. Payments Modernization

BY Business Wire | ECONOMIC | 07/15/25 03:32 PM EDT

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Federal Reserve Financial Services (FRFS) today announced the completed migration to the ISO 20022 message format for the Fedwire Funds Service, a major advancement in the evolution of the nation?s payments infrastructure. As global e-commerce grows and evolves, broad adoption of this new message format aligns U.S. payment transactions with an industry standard that enables greater end-to-end efficiency of transactions, further encouraging innovation across the payments landscape.

?This milestone is a significant achievement for the payments industry,? said Mark Gould, chief payments executive for FRFS. ?Now that ISO 20022 is live for the Fedwire Funds Service, the next step for the industry is to leverage the standard to create value and modernize payments.?

The Fedwire Funds Service settles more than $4.7 trillion in wire transfers on average per day. The ISO 20022 message format will enable more intelligent risk and fraud mitigation and provide a richer set of payment data that will facilitate banks? and other entities? compliance with sanctions and anti-money laundering requirements. The use of this structured data also supports businesses in automating and optimizing processes, which will enhance the straight-through processing of payments.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
