Among the principles in the Code are recommendations on how payments should be made and checked, and the need to support netting and payment-versus-payment processes whenever possible. As the correspondent banking world is itself is addressing inefficiencies and costs, can correspondent banks meet the new needs of the FX industry, or will it risk disintermediation?
