Lynx ISO 20022 Message Specifications

The following ISO 20022 message specifications for Lynx, Canada’s new high-value payments system, support financial institution participants in developing their own ISO 20022 enabled internal systems, so they can eventually generate and process customer and financial institution wire payments in Lynx when the system begins to accept ISO 20022 messages (exact date still under discussion with Lynx participants). 

Please note that the Lynx ISO 20022 Message Companion Document should be reviewed prior to implementing the ISO 20022 messages since there is important information included within, about message usage in the context of Lynx.
