This podcast is part of the After Hours by RedCompass Labs series, where the best and brightest in the financial services industry tell what they really think about payments! ISO 20022 is more than a new messaging standard for financial institutions; it represents a seismic change for the industry, involving 200 initiatives worldwide in over 70 countries.   Banks participating in the settlement networks have a massive workload on their shoulders.   A year into the transition, we ask: How has one of Europe's biggest banks been getting on?   In this episode of After Hours, Kjeld Herreman is joined by Wim Grosemans, Global Head of Product Management in Payments and Receivables at BNP Paribas.   Wim explains the benefits of structured ISO payments, how many corporates are banging on their door asking for rich ISO data, and whether CBPR+ messages will make investigations more efficient.   Listen below to hear how BNP Paribas is handling the transition to ISO 20022.

At ⁠⁠RedCompass Labs⁠⁠ we believe that there are only two types of payments – good and bad. Bad payments are transactions made to buy and sell people, to pay for child sexual exploitation, and other terrible human crimes that blight our society. Only 0.2% of human trafficking victims are ever saved, and we want to change that. Our podcast guests are people who care and want to make a difference. As Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”  For this episode of A Few Thoughtful People podcast Jonathan Bell is joined by industry experts Steven Zinger and Rick Hamilton from PNC Bank, and Edin Hadzic from South Story Bank. Together they discuss strategies to identify and address human trafficking traces in financial data and explain how their financial institutions are putting theory into practice to find real cases of human trafficking. Tune in to explore the significance of sourcing and implementing red flags that are not only relevant but tailored to your unique context. And uncover the transformative shift from traditional rule-based approaches to a more sophisticated persona-based, data-driven strategy.
