J.P. Morgan is working to help achieve the G20 targets and is also supporting other FIs in reaching these goals.

In alignment with the G20 and the FSB, J.P. Morgan is actively engaged in reshaping cross-border payments. Through our products and services, as well as our work in markets all over the world, we are not only adapting to the changing needs—we are helping lead others. By prioritizing trust and reliability in every solution, we aim to set the standard for secure and dependable cross-border transactions.

That is why we apply highly adaptable levels of service to build lasting partnerships at scale. Working with MAS, ECB and BIS Innovation Hub on joint initiatives and ongoing leadership roles in industry bodies including SWIFT and FSB taskforces, showcase our attempt to be a part of the larger solution.,,,,

That said, as a global leader in financial services, we understand the importance of walking-the-walk as well as talking-the-talk. J.P. Morgan is focused on supporting the G20 objectives through innovative solutions and strategic partnerships:

Cost: Strategic investments in low-value clearing and the remittance space has led to more affordable and accessible remittance services, benefiting both service providers and consumers while driving efficiency and reducing costs. At the forefront of this initiative are intuitive and efficient solutions that optimize and adapt to the evolving needs of our clients. These include Xpedite, which offers easy-to-integrate cross-currency solutions that give FIs access to onshore FX rates and connectivity to real-time networks. As one of the largest clearers of U.S. dollars, we capitalize on economies of scale to reduce costs, passing these savings on to our clients.

Speed: Working closely with correspondent and beneficiary banks to improve the final leg of settlement, our priority is to move money to its intended destination as fast as possible. Wire 365 facilitates the global movement of money every day of the year. Kinexys employs blockchain technology to accelerate the speed and efficiency of cross-border payments. In addition, J.P. Morgan is one of 30+ FIs across the world that is working with Swift in their development of a blockchain-based shared ledger that will help facilitate real-time 24/7 cross-border payments.

Access: With more than 4,000 corresponding banking partners, we enable clients to navigate any market in the world with confidence. Working across 160 countries and territories in 120 global currencies, we process more than $10 trillion on an average day. Strategic partnerships with regional banks and mobile money operators in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia help expand access and accelerate growth in emerging markets and our Global Clearing solution supports clients and governments in navigating change.

Transparency: Our firm’s $18 billion annual investment in technology supports strategic enhancements in transparency and regulatory compliance. This helps clients worldwide gain visibility into real-time intraday activity and projected balances, thereby enhancing risk management.

The vision of efficient, inclusive and interoperable cross-border payments is within reach—and the potential payoff is significant. As we follow the G20 roadmap to achieve the goals outlined, there are already benefits being seen, with costs dropping and transaction speeds rising. From our investments in blockchain-native infrastructure and our work with global regulators, to our efforts on transparency and speed, J.P. Morgan aspires to enable the next generation of global payments—aligned with the G20 and FSB’s vision. While we are proud of the strides we are making, we recognize that achieving meaningful progress requires a collective commitment from the entire industry, as well as those in the public sector. We can help other FIs as we work to reach these goals, and together we can drive the changes needed to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
