✅ MX Readiness Checklist

A Simple Pre-Transaction Self-Assessment for Clients

Use this checklist to determine whether your transaction, asset, or instrument is prepared for today’s ISO 20022 (MX) banking environment.

This is not a technical test — it focuses on clarity, legitimacy, and structure.

🧾 1. Asset & Ownership Clarity

☐ I can clearly identify the asset being used
☐ Ownership of the asset is documented and verifiable
☐ The asset value aligns with economic reality
☐ There are no conflicting ownership claims

Why this matters:
Banks must understand what the asset is and who controls it before evaluating funding.

🏦 2. Institutional Legitimacy

☐ Any issuing or supporting institution is real and verifiable
☐ The institution has a recognized banking or financial role
☐ No part of the transaction relies on unverified entities

Why this matters:
MX systems automatically reject structures involving non-existent or unverifiable institutions.

🔄 3. Logical Transaction Structure

☐ The roles of each party are clearly defined
☐ The flow of funds makes logical sense
☐ The transaction does not rely on “manual approval” to succeed
☐ There is a clear beginning, middle, and end to the transaction

Why this matters:
Modern banking systems validate logic before processing — unclear structures fail early.

📑 4. Instrument Readiness (If Applicable)

☐ Any SBLC, BG, note, or security is properly issued
☐ The instrument has a legitimate issuing authority
☐ Reimbursement or settlement logic exists
☐ The instrument’s face value is fundable and realistic

Why this matters:
Paper-only or unsupported instruments are filtered out instantly under MX.

💼 5. Economic Purpose

☐ I can clearly explain why the transaction exists
☐ The transaction supports real economic activity
☐ The purpose is not vague or generic
☐ The use of proceeds is logical and justifiable

Why this matters:
MX evaluates economic intent, not just documentation.

🔐 6. Compliance Readiness

☐ Parties involved can be identified clearly
☐ No effort is made to obscure identity or purpose
☐ The transaction can withstand compliance review
☐ All information provided is consistent and truthful

Why this matters:
Structured transparency reduces delays and false rejections.

⏱️ 7. Expectations & Timing

☐ I understand that preparation improves success
☐ I am open to structuring or clarification if needed
☐ I prefer pre-validation over trial-and-error submissions

Why this matters:
MX rewards preparation and penalizes guesswork.
