How do you go about upgrading your E&I platform to be ready for ISO 20022? With the support of RedCompass Labs, Desjardins recently completed a large and comprehensive native migration. The Canadian cooperative financial institution ensured its new Exceptions & Investigations (E&I) platform could support ISO 20022 natively and be ready for November's 2025 industry cutoff. The crucial work means that Dejardin's E&I now supports, rather than lags behind, the wider core banking modernization.

Exceptions & Investigations (E&I) handling hasn’t fundamentally changed in 40 years. Think about that for a second. Forty years ago, there was: No internet banking No mobile banking Far lower payment volumes Today, billions of transactions flow through global payment systems every day. Yet when something goes wrong, many banks still rely on manual processes. That’s about to change. There are major ISO 20022 deadlines in 2026 and 2027. Find out how to prepare in our ISO 20022 E&I Guide.

Can account-to-account payments scale across Europe? The EU's been building payment rails to ensure two things: 1️⃣ Sovereignty and security of its infrastructure 2️⃣ Reduced dependency on US card networks The infrastructure that enables 24/7 instant payments is largely in place. Consumer use cases aren't. Most transactions are still made by card. Alternative methods are available in a few European countries, but adoption is still not widespread.
