# Time is running out! Have your say on the CPA’s ISO 20022 Payments Standard Initiative before September 30, 2015



September 25, 2015

If you haven’t already, help the Canadian Payment Association create new payment opportunities in Canada by participating in the CPA’s public consultation on the ISO 20022 Payments Standard Initiative.  
   
All payment system users and stakeholders are invited to participate. Your input will assist the CPA in finalizing the proposed payment messages, policies and adoption strategy for ISO 20022 Automated Funds Transfer (AFT) payments, and ultimately the ISO 20022 payments standard for use in Canada.

We also invite corporate users of all sizes and industry to complete the ISO 20022 Survey for Corporates. Feedback will ensure that broad corporate perspectives on issues such as remittance information, straight-through processing, and automated reconciliation are recognized, understood and considered.

But time is running out! The consultation period closes next **Wednesday, September 30th.**
