Nasser RahalMBA, P.Eng

One-week snapshot · AED 20,000

Your regulator set the date. In one week, you’ll know if you’ll make it.

A fixed-price, one-week snapshot for banks, PSPs and exchange houses facing a payments mandate: ISO 20022, Aani, Jaywan, SAMA payment initiation, Canada’s Real-Time Rail or FedNow.

The problem

Every payments deadline looks manageable until someone counts the gaps. Message formats, liquidity, fraud controls, reconciliation, vendor readiness, testing windows. Most teams find out what they missed during certification, when it is most expensive to fix.

Fixed price · five working days

What you get in one week

  • A date: a realistic go-live date based on your systems and vendors, not the plan on the slide.
  • A gap count: every gap between today and the mandate, ranked by risk.
  • A money figure: what closing the gaps will cost, and what missing the deadline would cost.
  • A short readout to your leadership team.

Deadlines we work on

  • Swift ISO 20022 milestones (Nov 2026, 2027, 2028)
  • Canada RTR (Q4 2026, 2027)
  • Aani and Jaywan (UAE)
  • SAMA payment initiation (KSA)
  • FedNow and RTP (US)
