The ISO 20022 Deadline Is Approaching… Is Your AP Function Ready?
After over two decades of planning and preparation, migration to the ISO 20022 standard for financial messaging has finally arrived for U.S. businesses. Two critical deadlines are fast approaching for ISO 20022 conversion. While those deadlines are primarily for the banks, if companies haven’t also migrated to the new standard for their international and domestic wire payments, operations will soon become more costly and less efficient.
Embracing Automation Without Fear
Automation is not about machines taking over—it’s about making processes faster, more accurate, and less stressful. Automation handles repetitive, low-value tasks, allowing AP and AR teams to focus on more strategic work. This session will provide an in-depth look at why enterprise payments teams need to embrace automation.
Overcoming Check Challenges for AP and AR
With efforts by both the federal government and payments industry stakeholders, the days of check payments appear to be numbered. However, the United States has been trying to phase out checks for decades and they’re still in use. In this panel discussion, we will explore the challenges that check payments pose for both AP and AR teams.

The ISO 20022 Deadline Is Approaching… Is Your AP Function Ready?
After over two decades of planning and preparation, migration to the ISO 20022 standard for financial messaging has finally arrived for U.S. businesses. Two critical deadlines are fast approaching for ISO 20022 conversion – Fedwire on July 14 and Swift on November 22. While those deadlines are primarily for the banks, if companies haven’t also migrated to the new standard for their international and domestic wire payments, operations will soon become more costly and less efficient. In this session, the head of global payments for Delta Airlines provides an in-depth view of how his team converted its international and domestic payables to ISO 20022.
