The adoption and implementation of FATF Special Recommendation VII within the payments operation areas of financial institutions around the world has caused and still causes confusion and disruption in the execution of cross-border payments. The IFSA has composed a Best Practice and Guidance document to support members in the correct formatting of cross-border wire transfers.

The financial service industry is facing a steadily growing number of compliance guidelines and regulations for banking in general and individual bank products in particular. With the creation of the Payments Compliance Committee the IFSA is giving its members the opportunity to discuss issues and share experiences related to payments compliance topics among peers.
