Automated Clearing House

- Electronic network for the exchange of smaller payment instructions among FIs - BACC in UK, ECG in Hong Kong and ACH in US. - Small-value, non-urgent systems that often include both credit and debit types of transfers. - Generally batch-processed, valued-dated EFTs.

US ACH operators

- Federal Reserve Bank - the private operator, the Electronic Payment Network (EPN).

Where does the value is subtracted from the paying banks' account through?

- Federal Reserve bank, correspondent bank or some other clearing channel. - Paying bank has a limited amount of time to review check images, and authorize final payment or refuse payment and return check to the bank of first deposit.

Examples of RTGS

- Fedwire in US - CHAPS in UK - LTVS in Canada - CNAPS in China

RTGS

- Large-value transfer electronic payments => wire transfer

ACH

- Low-value electronic payments => small value electronic payment that are value dated, processed in batches, and take one or two days to settle.

Check-based payment

- Paper check is the oldest non-cash payment instrument in US. - Still primary way for B2B payments to be made in US ( though use is declining). - Process begins when check drawn on US bank is deposited into payee's account. - Check may be deposited physically or using RDC (remote deposit control) - If payee has not already scanned check, the check will be scanned at teller counter or batched and sent through a reader at the bank of first deposit which captures MICR line information and image of the check. - Checks/images are sorted according to the clearing channel and sent to the clearing system as cash letters.

Settlement (or availability)

- Refers to the actual movement of funds from the payor's account to the payee's account. - Settlement can be handled between FIs using common accounts at their central banks (common for domestic transfer). - Settlement can also take place through correspondent accounts (common for cross-border transfer).

Availability Schedules

- Specify when a bank grant available credit or collected balances for deposited items. - Fed has availability schedules for banks. - Correspondent banks availability schedules for other banks. - Banks availability schedules for customers - Checks are generally assigned between 0 and 2 days' availability for businesses. - Availability schedules depend on the customer and volume of business.

Real-Time Gross Settlement

- means that the clearing and settlement of each transaction occur continuously throughout the processing day. - payment is unchanged when the RTGS processor credits the amount of payment order to receiving bank's account or sends notice to receiving bank, whichever is earlier.

FedGlobal Service

- provides this service called FedGlobal ACH payments - offers a range of transaction currency options.
