Intellias ISO 8583 to ISO 20022 Converter Accelerator

Bridge the gap between legacy ISO 8583 systems and the new global ISO 20022 standard

Modernize payments without disruption

Are you ready for a big change in global payment messaging standards? The Intellias ISO 8583 to ISO 20022 Converter Accelerator helps you modernize without pausing what’s already running. Our proven, production-ready solution enables banks, financial institutions, and payment providers to transition smoothly while maintaining business continuity.

Adoption is no longer optional. But we’ll make it effortless.

Challenges it solves

ISO 8583–ISO 20022 integration

Visa, Mastercard, and other global card networks continue to run on ISO 8583, while many financial institutions adopt ISO 20022 internally. Our accelerator unites both standards, ensuring full compatibility and interoperability.

Migration complexity and risk

The Intellias Accelerator establishes a seamless transition to ISO 20022 without disrupting day-to-day operations. With pre-built conversion, validation, and integration layers, it ensures business continuity and low-risk migration.

Limited visibility for compliance

ISO 8583 messages often lack the rich metadata and regulatory fields required today. Our ISO 20022 Converter enriches messaging data to support compliance, AML, fraud detection, and risk monitoring.

ATICA-compliant transaction pipelines

Our converter streamlines the development of automated transaction processing pipelines aligned with ATICA standards. It ensures message consistency, validation, and regulatory compliance across all payment workflows.

Limited scalability

Our scalable architecture design supports ongoing evolution in both standards, allowing you to innovate internally on ISO 20022 while remaining fully connected to global card networks built on ISO 8583.

ISO 20022 API integration

Connecting modern applications to legacy payment systems becomes easier with the Intellias ISO 20022 Converter. It provides ready-to-use API integration components that enable seamless connectivity.

What it does: The ISO 20022 Converter Accelerator capabilities

The Intellias ISO 8583–ISO 20022 Converter Accelerator makes legacy payment formats fully compatible with the ISO 20022 standard. It translates, enriches, and validates transactions in real time — ensuring seamless interoperability between internal financial systems and global card networks such as Visa and Mastercard.

Message transformation

Automate conversion between legacy and modern financial messaging formats. The accelerator translates ISO 8583 messages into ISO 20022 schemas (and vice versa) with built-in validation and mapping logic that preserves every data field’s integrity.

Enhanced data governance

Align your data landscape with ISO 20022 standards. Our solution streamlines data migration, enrichment, and ingestion across systems. It extends ISO 8583 fields with ISO 20022 schemas to provide data consistency and sufficiency in related layers.

Automated transaction processing

Power real-time transaction flows between ISO 8583-based card networks and ISO 20022-compliant systems. The accelerator handles validation, transformation, and routing end-to-end, supporting ATICA protocols and minimizing latency across payment channels.

Scalable architecture

Grow your payment ecosystem as your business evolves. Built on modular microservices (Spring, Kafka, and Docker), the ISO 20022 Converter Accelerator scales with your systems, allowing for feature expansion and easy integration with new payment standards.

API-driven integration and flexibility

Easily integrate ISO 8583 and ISO 20022 messaging across your ecosystem. A unified API layer connects seamlessly with core banking, card network gateways (Visa, Mastercard), and third-party systems. It secures compatibility with current and future financial standards.

Mission-critical reliability

Process millions of transactions daily. The architecture of our ISO 20022 Converter Accelerator is resilient, built to handle heavy transactional loads. Its fault-tolerant design ensures uninterrupted performance across mission-critical payment environments.
