What chaps testing actually is
CHAPS message testing aligned with the Bank of England's ISO 20022 schemas.
When you need it
Before CHAPS direct-participant onboarding and on every CHAPS schema release.
What Forth delivers
Message validation, settlement testing and BoE readiness evidence.
The pitfall we don't repeat
Schema validation that passes but business validation that doesn't.
How we engage
Fixed-scope discovery, a 30-day pilot against a real workload, and a continuation engagement with named UK-based engineers. Every artefact is version-controlled and ready for second-line review.
Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver chaps testing as a managed service?
Yes. We can run chaps testing as a one-off engagement, as part of a programme, or as a continuous managed service with monthly reporting.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes — most engagements augment an existing team. We work to your tooling, your standards and your release process, not ours.
What evidence do you produce for our auditors?
Every engagement produces traceable evidence: scenarios mapped to requirements or controls, run logs, defect history and a sign-off pack your second line can use without rework.
How fast can you start?
Most chaps testing engagements start within 2-4 weeks of a signed SoW, faster if there's an existing supplier framework in place.
