DBNAlliance Backs E-Remittance Data Model
The Digital Business Networks Alliance (DBNAlliance), a key nonprofit organization responsible for managing the U.S. open Exchange Framework, has expressed its support for the Business Payments Coalition's (BPC) E-remittance Exchange Pilot. This important initiative incorporates established practices for implementing the ISO 20022 remittance data model.
Results from the E-Remittance Exchange Pilot
Over several months, the E-remittance Exchange Pilot acted as a testing ground for electronic remittance information exchanges among various businesses using the DBNAlliance. With the pilot now complete, the BPC's updated e-remittance data model is available for integration into current open exchange networks, which will boost both efficiency and security in remittance processing.
Approval of Technical Details
In light of the pilot's success, the DBNAlliance has given the green light for the adoption of technical specifications that will enable the transmission of e-remittance documents in compliance with ISO 20022 standards across its North American Exchange Framework. These specifications aim to streamline remittance operations for businesses involved.
Timeline for Implementation
The new document formats are expected to be ready for production use soon, allowing businesses seeking to adopt the ISO 20022 standards to securely send and receive remittance documents through the DBNAlliance framework. This change is essential for modernizing financial transactions.
Commitment to Member Support
Chris Welsh, the Chair of the DBNAlliance, highlighted that this accomplishment represents a significant milestone for the organization, driven by members' requests for ISO 20022 documents in a live setting. Welsh expressed his appreciation for the members' input and noted that the forthcoming publication of technical specifications would offer crucial guidelines for implementing these standards.
Inviting New Participants
Dolf Kars, Chair of the Membership & Market Adoption Committee and CCO of Storecove, encouraged all participants of the E-remittance Exchange Pilot to make full use of the robust capabilities offered by the North American open exchange network. The DBNAlliance sees financial services as a vital area for participant engagement and adoption, with hopes that the expanding network will increase its overall importance.
