Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

ISO 20022 is the new, worldwide standard in the payments industry. As book just about 50 pages strong certainly can not explain a standard in detail, which concerns such a complex area like internationally interoperable payments. Well, it not even attempts to do that. Other than what the title of the small book might suggest, it merely explains what the ISO 20022 is (a standard) and gives some information on why it is there, who developed it and what (people think) is so great about it. It also sheds some light on older existing standards and why you might want to upgrade to this new one.
While I was well aware 50 pages can never explain internals of ISO 20022 and at best give you a broad overview, I was still disappointed. If you know what a standard is, then you have hardly a need to read this introduction and if if you want to know how ISO 20022 works, then you better look elsewhere.
