Optional "penny value" and volume testing instructions
The production environment will be available on Saturday, February 8, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon (ET) for optional testing that you may want to perform with other organizations to send and receive low-dollar value ISO 20022 test messages. If you are interested in participating, please follow the instructions below to receive the penny value testing participant list. We will only share the list if you have opted in to participate in the penny value testing. Once you have the list, you can coordinate testing directly with each other (e.g., types of messages to test, number of messages to test).
Some customers have expressed interest in volume testing in the ISO 20022 message format. This can also be performed on the morning of February 8, 2025, but we advise that you limit the number to 400 outgoing messages.
Please note: We will follow the schedule that is outlined in the Testing Overview section on page 3 of the Saturday Production Test Script.
