Bank of England sets timeline for enhanced payment data

The Bank of England has set a clear timeline for the future of payments. From November 2027, mandatory ISO 20022 enhanced data requirements will expand across CHAPS. This follows the May 2025 mandate introducing Purpose Codes and Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) in certain transactions. Momentum is already building: ✅ The Bank of England and Pay.UK have added LEIs to Bank Reference Data in the Extended Industry Sort Code Database, strengthening data accuracy. ✅ The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has started publishing LEIs for UK-regulated firms. These steps mark a significant shift toward richer, more reliable payment data—and underscore the central role of the LEI in supporting financial stability, compliance, and trust. How are financial institutions preparing for this transition? https://lnkd.in/e4VGgHBd #LEI #ISO20022 #DigitalIdentity
