I realize this response is late but the ISO 8583 is a standard for creating and reading financial transaction messages including Point of Sale (POS) transactions, Automated Teller Machines (ATM) and network-to-network, real-time financial transactions.  These messages enable consumers to withdrawal money from ATM's and conduct business in a real-time POS world.

It does not relate to communications standards as ISO 8583 messages can be delivered over almost any standard or legacy communications protocol for the financial industry.

Hi Meade. Your response isn't late because I am still looking for more information about this topic. If you know, Could you give me some web pages where I can get info about ISO 8583 ?

Thanks,
Guillermo.

Hi,

I'm even later than the other guys.  We can answer any of the questions you have on ISO 8583 payment messages and we have a Java product called Message Mapper which allows ISO 8583 messages to be understood and reformatted into a message format which can be easily understood (e.g. XML or a fixed message format rather than bit mapped).
