Benefit from CGI with MultiCash

Use MultiCash to benefit from the global e-banking harmonization of the CGI initiative

The initiative "Common Global Implementation - Market Practice" (CGI-MP) aims to establish a uniform message format for transaction banking for banks worldwide. In practical terms, new international format standards for use in corporate banking business are being defined using the ISO XML-20022 specification. The CGI working groups, with active participants from banks, banking associations, corporates and solution providers, are assigned specific tasks. In addition to defining new, generic standards for a defined business area, these working groups also aim to promote their take up in the market place.

We are actively shaping the future of international transaction banking

As a member of the CGI initiative, we are a driving force in the development of the new formats and consistently implement the agreements reached in the working groups in our corporate and banking solutions. As part of this process, we have set up our own MultiCash CGI working group, comprising members of our corporate and banking user community in order to consolidate our expertise. This MultiCash working group is composed of various task forces, which mirror the CGI-MP Working Groups, helping to design of the ISO 20022 standard and shape its implementation in practice.

Clearly, CGI will only add value to all parties involved if the standards are embedded in functioning solutions. For MultiCash, we achieve this by ensuring a timely and consistent integration of the CGI formats and validations in our applications, which we design and dry run with members of our cross-sector task forces. The modular design of MultiCash allows implementation for the areas covered by the various CGI working groups to be made within the applicable modules. This allows corporates and banks to mix and match the CGI functionality to match their individual requirements.
