TARGET Services: Reassessment of the timeline for the November 2026 releases

31 August 2026

Following Swift's announcement to extend the timeline for the implementation of Standards Release 2026, the Eurosystem is reassessing the TARGET Services releases planned for November 2026. In particular, the Eurosystem is considering the possibility of proceeding with the releases as planned, while postponing exclusively the change related to the 'discontinuation of unstructured postal addresses'. The final decision will be communicated as soon as possible.
