Volante's partners also emphasized the importance of innovation and technologies that accelerate the modernization of banking infrastructure, particularly in payments. Approximately 90% of the data received by banks today and 75% of ISO 20022 commercialization use cases are related to customer payment data. The report also examines the global move towards the ISO 20022 standard in payments, highlighting how banks can exploit the richer data to differentiate themselves in the market.
