Regulatory Updates: ISO20022 & California Consumer Privacy Act
- ISO20022 will affect any institutions doing wire transfers— the vast majority of the value transfer in the US by gross dollar volume.
- Wires are used for the following: bank reserves, Fed funds, repurchase agreements, trading account obligations, corporate client deposits, liquidity & payroll.
- According to one report, there were fully 27 impact areas affected in banking, payments and architecture and 10 operational departments involved in an ISO20022 migration.
- The California Consumer Privacy Act has three criteria:
- 1) The business earns $25 million in annual revenue.
- 2) The business obtains personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices annually.
- The business derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information.
- The intention of the Act is to inform residents of whether data is being collected, sold, or accessed and allow them to decline the sale, delete personal info, and prevent discrimination.
