Finance and payments data

Defines records for risk-finance flows: entity identification by LEI, parametric trigger definitions and settlements, disbursement and aid-flow reporting via IATI and OCDS, and risk data aggregation principles, with ISO 20022 named only as a restricted profile. Every artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier), which identifies and never certifies.

01Scope

Finance and payments data: what the area covers, and what it leaves to others.

The cross-cutting capabilities section of Finance, Insurance and the Economy. Scope as the area context entry states it (PROPOSED).

In scope 4

  • Legal entity identification (LEI) and counterparty records
  • Parametric trigger, calculation digest and settlement records
  • Aid and contracting flows (IATI, OCDS)
  • Risk data aggregation and reporting principles (BCBS 239)

Out of scope 2

  • Executing payments or holding funds
  • Investment advice, ratings or endorsement

Jurisdictions No jurisdiction note is recorded for this area yet; jurisdiction narrows what applies and never implies that a Nexus profile satisfies a law.

02Open standards

5 open standards, each with its relation.

Relations are register entries (NS-14), never conformance or equivalence statements; hover or focus a relation for its meaning. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here.

03Nexus Standards that apply

05Systemic couplings

3 couplings to other areas and subsites.

Each coupling names the mechanism that links this area to another; select a card on the canvas to trace it. Mechanisms are stated in the context bank (PROPOSED).

Canvas · the area and its couplingsDesign, not a record
Finance and payments data: systemic couplingsThe couplings the area context bank records for Finance and payments data: 0 areas in Finance, Insurance and the Economy, 3 areas in other subsites and 3 subsites reached. Each coupling carries a mechanism stated in the context bank (PROPOSED); a reading aid, not a dependency proof.

Fig.RUNNING marks the area you are reading; DONE an area in the same subsite, QUEUED an area elsewhere and GATE a subsite reached. Tags give reading order only, never a status. Design, not a record.

  1. Alerting and messagingEarly Warning and Anticipatory ActionParametric triggers reference public trigger sources with source releases, never internal alerts, so payouts are reproducible.
  2. Scenarios, models and foresightSystemic RisksClimate stress tests cite NGFS scenario vintages and transformation steps.
  3. Capital pathway, The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)Readiness and AdoptionFinance records are the evidence that the capital-readiness pathway in the Readiness and Adoption subsite reads.
06Data and feeds

3 sources, with provider, licence and delivery path.

Sources the area reads or proposes. Delivery follows GRIx first; a source is shown live only after an owner decision admits it for public pages.

Every feed · pending admission

No legal register row admits any of these sources for live display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from them here. A register row that exists records the source for the governed GRIx path; admission for public pages is a separate owner decision.

07Indicators

2 indicators the area tracks.

Indicator names and codes as their stewards publish them; values appear only from a governed GRIx source, never typed into a page.

08Restricted compatibility profiles

1 closed standard, named only.

Closed or paywalled standards appear by name and link only; any compatibility profile of one is built on simulated data and kept on protected pages until an institutional arrangement with the issuing body is recorded. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.

09Working group

The working-group charter, proposed.

Scope

Records for risk-finance flows and parametric triggers.

No working group is chartered yet; a community may charter this one under NS-13 through a docket.

10Readiness

What each pathway can read from this area.

GCRI Canada evidence pathway

GCRI Canada

GCRI Canada analyses risk-finance performance from disbursement and settlement records with their trigger evaluations.

Open the GCRI Canada evidence pathway

Recognition pathway

The Global Risks Forum (GRF)

GRF recognises risk-finance programmes that publish trigger definitions, basis-risk disclosures and payout records.

Open the Recognition pathway

Capital pathway

The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)

GRA requires trigger sources, calculation digests and evaluator separation before a parametric structure enters a readiness file, and gives no investment advice.

Open the Capital pathway

Each institution decides under its own rules what it reads as evidence; no pathway is an approval, a readiness statement or investment advice.

11Open problems

2 open problems an expert would start with.

18Learn and apply

Where Finance and payments data is taught, worked on and run.

Risk Academy disciplines that teach Finance and payments data, with their courses; the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) subsites that carry those disciplines; and the Nexus Foundry systems the standards name. Mappings are proposed for review (Risk Academy standards map, 2026-10-17); a link says a page on the same subject exists, never an endorsement or a conformance statement; framework names in course titles are named and linked, never reproduced.
