What you need to know about the TD eTreasury® update
ISO 20022 is a significant industry initiative that will help standardize payments and information reporting globally, thereby making your payments more secure and transparent. Many of these enhancements will only impact backend operations at the Bank, but some will impact the way you send Wire Transfers.
What's changing:
- Recipient Address is currently an optional entry, but will become required for wires sent within the US
- Recipient Country/Region is a new field. It is currently optional, but will become mandatory for all outgoing wires in the future.
How Customers should be preparing for the transition:
It is important that Customers begin addressing these upcoming changes by completing the following tasks prior to the implementation date noted.
- Recurring Wires and Future-Dated Wires: Wires that are scheduled for automatic payment after June 23 must contain all necessary information for Recipient Address and Recipient Country. Please update these scheduled wires in advance of this date to avoid any execution failures.
- Stored Recipients: If you use the Master Recipient List, please update the recipients you would like to continue using after June 23. If your stored recipients are not updated by that date, you will receive an error message when attempting to use them. Note: When you update stored recipients, any templates using those recipients will be automatically updated.
- Wire Templates: If you use Wire Templates, please update the templates you plan to continue using after June 23. If you try to use a non-compliant stored template after June 23, you will receive an error notification and will be required to update it.
- As an additional reminder, some special characters are no longer allowed in Recipient ID, Bank to Bank Info, and Sender to Receiver Info; please review the FAQs further down this page for more details under the "What can you start doing now?" topic.
