What is Mercury?

Mercury is a product designed to seamlessly transition banks and enterprises from batch file DE payments to NPP payment rails using ISO20022 messaging standards. By adopting Mercury, organisations can overcome the challenges posed by slow payment processes and legacy infrastructure and begin to embrace PayTo.

How will Mercury work for you?

Banks & Enterprise
Traditional .aba to ISO20022
'expected' .aba Response

The Mercury API product enables banks and enterprise clients to effortlessly upload traditional .aba files either manually through the business-facing portal or via API. These files are then processed as ISO20022 format and NPP transactions, and an 'expected' .aba response format is generated.

ISO20022 enabled

Mercury removes the reliance on third party software to enable the transition to ISO20022 standards and enables businesses to begin, or continue, processing payments using real-time payment rails.

Minimal to no adjustment
Faster payments

With the implementation of the API, the day-to-day change management for staff working across these platforms will require minimal to no adjustments. However, clients will experience a significant transformation in their payment speed, leading to faster and more efficient transactions.

Why is the industry moving to ISO20022?

Direct Entry (DE) have been used for many years and though still relevant, there are distinct advantages in moving away from batch-based payments and towards single, real-time processing leveraging the message standard of ISO20022.

In Australia, the Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS) which is used to processes DE files and payments has embarked for closure within the next 5-7 years. To ensure the smooth processing of payments, banks are required to transition away from DE files.

Institutional desire to leverage the systemic benefits of single payment over batch processing and access richer and more flexible transaction data. Alongside this shift, global messaging standards are being enhanced to improve global connectivity and speed.

The introduction of ISO20022 messaging standards reinforces the need for banks and enterprises to transition from DE payments to NPP payment rails, emphasising the importance of embracing this change.

Mercury allows banks to easily introduce ISO20022 messaging standards and support their clients' transition from DE payments to NPP payment rails.

Why Mercury?

Named after the groundbreaking Project Mercury, our product name Mercury pays tribute to the first human spaceflight mission in the United States.

While Project Mercury is well-known, there is a lesser-known group called Mercury 13, comprising 13 remarkable women who underwent the same rigorous psychological testing as their male counterparts but were never given the opportunity to fly.

By choosing the name Mercury, we honour these courageous groups who played pivotal roles in shaping the future of space travel and inspired us to embrace change.
