This milestone marks a major step in BADR\u2019s digital and regulatory modernization journey and was achieved in partnership with&nbsp;<strong>Eastnets<\/strong>, a global leader in financial messaging, compliance, and payments solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>go-live<\/strong>&nbsp;took place on&nbsp;<strong>October 17, 2025<\/strong>, following a successful testing, UAT, and implementation phase jointly carried out by&nbsp;<strong>BADR Bank<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Eastnets\u2019 teams<\/strong>. This success aligns with&nbsp;<strong>Algeria\u2019s national strategy for the digital transformation of its public financial sector<\/strong>, aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency, and security in the national payments ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Led by&nbsp;<strong>Mr. Mohand Bourai<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of BADR Bank and&nbsp;<strong>Chairman of the Association of Banks and Financial Institutions (ABEF)<\/strong>, this project demonstrates BADR\u2019s institutional commitment to&nbsp;<strong>innovation, compliance, and operational excellence<\/strong>&nbsp;within Algeria\u2019s banking sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project also benefited from the&nbsp;<strong>close participation of Mrs. Amina Bensmaine<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Head of the International Operations Division<\/strong>&nbsp;at BADR Bank, whose coordination and expertise were instrumental in the successful migration to ISO 20022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis achievement reflects BADR Bank\u2019s ongoing commitment to innovation, compliance, and operational excellence,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Mr. Mohand Bourai<\/strong>, CEO of BADR Bank. \u201cAs a&nbsp;<strong>public Algerian bank<\/strong>, we have a responsibility to lead the modernization of the national banking sector. Our successful migration to ISO 20022 strengthens our position as a key player in Algeria\u2019s financial modernization and enables us to deliver faster, more transparent, and more efficient cross-border transactions for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISO 20022<\/strong>&nbsp;is the international standard for financial messaging, enabling richer, faster, and more secure data exchanges between financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the&nbsp;<strong>global migration<\/strong>&nbsp;from legacy&nbsp;<strong>MT<\/strong>&nbsp;messages to the new&nbsp;<strong>MX<\/strong>&nbsp;format, all financial institutions connected to&nbsp;<strong>SWIFT<\/strong>&nbsp;are required to adopt ISO 20022 to enhance interoperability, transparency, and efficiency across payment systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PaymentSafe<\/strong>, Eastnets\u2019 comprehensive payments platform, provided the&nbsp;<strong>technical foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;for BADR Bank\u2019s ISO 20022 migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its&nbsp;<strong>modular and flexible architecture<\/strong>, the platform is designed to&nbsp;<strong>integrate, through dedicated connectors, various payment streams, including local systems (ACH, RTGS), international networks such as SWIFT, and regional platforms like Buna while interfacing seamlessly with the bank\u2019s core or back-office systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eastnets\u2019 team worked closely with BADR Bank, using&nbsp;<strong>PaymentSafe\u2019s ISO Converter<\/strong>&nbsp;to ensure full alignment with&nbsp;<strong>SWIFT\u2019s global standards<\/strong>&nbsp;and a smooth migration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re proud to support BADR Bank in achieving this important milestone,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Raja Said<\/strong>, Customer Success Director at Eastnets. \u201cThis successful go-live demonstrates the technological maturity of BADR Bank and the shared commitment of both institutions to advance payment modernization in Algeria and across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This collaboration between&nbsp;<strong>BADR Bank, a public Algerian institution<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Eastnets<\/strong>&nbsp;highlights how strategic partnerships can drive&nbsp;<strong>national financial transformation<\/strong>&nbsp;and strengthen Algeria\u2019s position in the international banking ecosystem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banque de l\u2019Agriculture et du D\u00e9veloppement Rural (BADR Bank), a&nbsp;public Algerian bank, has successfully gone live with&nbsp;ISO 20022, becoming the&nbsp;first financial institution in Algeria&nbsp;to comply with the global standard for financial messaging.
