ISO 20022 & SWIFT MX Comprehensive PACS & CAMT Mastery
A five-day programme on ISO 20022 PACS and CAMT messaging, covering message construction and validation, camt.052 to camt.056 statements, CBPR+ mapping, reconciliation design, and exception handling.
Introduction
The ISO 20022 & SWIFT MX Comprehensive PACS & CAMT Mastery Training Course builds deep, hands-on command of the two MX message families that carry most payment and reporting traffic. PACS messages drive clearing and settlement across correspondent banks, while CAMT messages deliver statements, reporting, and reconciliation data. Getting them right determines whether payments settle on time and whether accounts reconcile cleanly. This course works through both families field by field. It covers message construction, validation, mapping, and exception handling. Furthermore, it applies CBPR+ rules, testing discipline, and operational controls. As a result, participants handle PACS and CAMT messages with genuine mastery.
