RTGSplus

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Between 2001 and 2007, RTGSplus was the Deutsche Bundesbank's liquidity-saving real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system for handling domestic and foreign payments.[1] It was commissioned on 5 November 2001[2] as a successor system to ELS and EAF.[1][2]

The system was characterized among other things by the following:

  • Tendered orders were instantly scheduled in real-time (also through offsetting payments).[2]
  • With sufficient coverage, there was a direct transfer of central bank money.[2]
  • An RTGSplus credit was immediately final for the receiving participant and was available without restriction.[2]
  • RTGSplus used internationally accepted SWIFT standard file formats.[2]
  • RTGSplus was open on all TARGET business days from 7 am to 6 pm ECB time for payment processing. Thus RTGSplus was closed only on Saturdays and Sundays and a few holidays.

RTGSplus was replaced by the new Eurosystem (ESCB) clearing system TARGET2 with effect from 19 November 2007. TARGET2 processes all euro payments in the eurozone.
