BNP – Currency Guide for Treasurers

We’ve just come across an interesting guide for treasurers from BNP Paribas, which has been designed for organizations of all sizes and profiles. The guide offers guidelines and data on over 130 currencies and is useful for those in charge of making international payments.
The guide is in English and French. Best before start is to read top left the recommendations and user guide.
Then browse by mouse over the landscape of choose by dropdown menus.

This version of the guide is oriented towards international payments.

For example: I tried to pay CSK from Germany to Spain. The result is two formats Swift Message Type MT101 and ISO XML Pain.001. – Try it out. Bravo to BNP staff members.

Attention: EUR SEPA and local payments are planned for the next version.
