The restructuring of the Swedish payment market has now begun, and the next generation of payments will be handled by the banks and P27, which is the Nordic clearing house. The change will continue for several years and the development will take place in different phases.
The first phase concerns the migration of payments in Swedish kronor, which means that payments to the bankgiro system will gradually be replaced by the new joint payment platform P27, where the ISO 20022 file format is mandatory.

The Transformation Committee within the Swedish Bankers' Association has drawn up a timetable for the transition to P27, which is valid for all banks. SEB recommends customers, as well as ERP providers and service agencies, to switch to the new ISO 20022 file format during 2022 at the latest, as a first step in the transition.
